Emily’s Reviews > 13 Little Love Stories: An anthology inspired by Taylor Swift songs > Status Update

Fool's Gold: 3.5/5 stars. I don't understand the magic system or truly why we were stealing the gems from everyone, just to make a profit? Would work really well as a long form YA fantasy novel. Other than them being named after gems and stealing jewels I don't see the connection to Bejeweled.

We're here now: 4.5/5 stars. I would definitely read a long form of this one. it was interesting and I really enjoyed it. I don't full see how it fits with Hit's Different though. And again, college students/ full adults in a YA novel? Is the marketing just way off for this title...?

Once Upon a Grad Night: 4/5 Stars. Nothing remarkable. Just okay. I would read a long form of this book if we had a little more...something, to help the plot. This could've been more witchy based on how witchy Willow feels

The Cardigan in Question: 5/5 stars. I would read a long form of this novel. Much like Brake for it you can tell this was inspired by the song more so with the plot but REALLY in essence as well. It was cute and fun. Though again, they're college age when really they should be high school

Five Summers: 4/5 stars. Cute. I can see how it fits with the song and it's loose and not in your face so that's nice. It's just not remarkable so?

Brake for It: 4.5/5 stars. I truly thought this was going the direction the author wanted you to think it was going and I was getting to angry I almost skipped to the end. Boy and I glad I didn't. I love girls supporting girls and dumping crusty men. It doesn't completely fit with Getaway car in plot, but in essence, if that makes sense.

Group Project: 2/5 stars. I genuinely have no idea what I just read. This didn't match Style in any way other than mentioned they were part of the class of 1989. Like. Okay? The story was...fine? Not my cup of tea.

It Happened One Wednesday: 5/5 stars. This is my first Lynn Painter book and based solely on this, I totally get the hype now. She perfectly embodied Begin Again and the banter was so cute and perfect. I don't love that they're adults in a YA complication, but outside of being in a pub and drinking soda, there's nothing inappropriate for teens in this short story.

This One's Just for Us: 4.5/5 stars. Sweet- about two misfits finding their fit together. I wish this was longer. And I felt like it was a good rep of 'Ours'

Everything Unspoken: 1/5 Stars. This needed to be much longer. The conflict wasn't fleshed out with the brother being locked up for....? And the magic wasn't given enough time nearly at all. Clearly was Romeo and Juliet, but I don't think this deserves extra stars just for matching a song that is clearly matching a classic.
