Review:
A lot of my favourite authors contributed to this book (John Green, Libba Bray, Cassandra Clare, David Levithan, Holly Black) so of course I figured I would love it! Not so. Let me tell you, I was going to buy this from a bookstore but then just checked it out from the library (thank god because it would have been a waste of money). Anyhow I didn't read it straight from cover to cover, I skipped through and read one disappointing story after another. To be honest, the only story in here I really liked was 'I Never' by Cassandra Clare, other than that it was a waste of time to me.
