My Review:
And Then He Kissed me is an anthology on love and heartache from some great voices in YA. Here is my thoughts on each short story:
* Star-crossed by Katie Dale
A great story to start the anthology. I loved it! It was such a beautiful short story of starcrossed lovers. A lesson was learned in this short- Live today as if it is your last, take risks! ✪✪✪✪✪
*Supercool by Cathy Kelly
A cute, sweet read. A lesson learned in this short- Stand up for what you believe in, be yourself! ✪✪✪
* Extracurriculars by Abby McDonald
I liked this story. I loved Charlie and would love to hear more from him and Vita. If feels like this story could continue. ✪✪✪ .5
*My embarrassing mother by Monica McInerney
I liked this story. It was slightly more serious than the first three shorts. A lesson learned in this short- The consequences of parents actions on their children! ✪✪ .5
*Lost in Translation by Sinead Moriarty
I liked Lost in Translation. I could kind of see where it was going. Like Extracurriculars it feels like this story could continue. ✪✪✪
* The Movie Kiss by Jonna Nadin
I didn't really like this story. I didn't get all the movie references, you would have to be a movie buff to get them. I also didn't like the authors style of writing. ✪ .5
*All of a sudden by Adele Parks
I loved this story, it was a cute read. I couldn't see where Adele Parks was going with the story which was great! ✪✪✪✪✪
*Dog Days by Madhvi Ronani
I loved this story and the characters. It was one more of the more serious shorts. ✪✪✪✪✪
* Just a friend by Dylan Sheldon
I liked this story. Talk about a cliff hanger! I need to know what happened next. More please! ✪✪✪✪
* My first Kiss by Sarah Webb
I loved this story, it was so sweet. Out of all the authors this is the only authors work I have read.✪✪✪✪✪
Overall I really enjoyed this anthology and settled on a 3.5* rating. I can't wait to read more from these authors and to check out more anthologies!
