I was given this ARC by the publisher in exchange for an Honest Review.

Ok, I'll admit it. The cover of this one is what made me want to read it. Something about the brunette on the cover's lower face just hooked me?

That aside I liked most of the book, but not all of it.

It's about Bridget and Alex. They were BFFs as kids and then as they got older and went to college they became more. But, then something happened after college (we slowly find out what through flashbacks titled 'Then'), and they go their separate ways.

The 'Now' parts take place 5 years after they've split. Alex is a business owner and Bridget a star musician. Can they repair their relationship? I sure as heck weren't sure if they could.

On the whole, the plot was interesting, and I liked 99% of the characters. Even Keiko was so darn cute. But, unfortunately, I never really warmed up to Bridget. She just-- ugh-- it was was one of those characters who even though it was her leaving and breaking Alex's heart, somehow it was still made to be all Alex's fault and it was Alex who had to get over this and learn that? *sigh*

By the end it wasn't quite as bad, but, still seemed (except for one overly big moment) very one-sided when it came to the power in the relationship.

a cute set of stories. They are good for quick reads and most are interesting. I liked being able to finish a story without having to finish the book.

A collection of 6 short stories about love.

It was an okay collection but none of the stories really stood out for me. The end one in particular was too short and missed much of the detail I wanted. An easy short read but not the best.

A charming collection of romance short stories. The standout here for me is Love at the Edge of the Galaxy by Charley Clarke, with a tight plot and excellent writing. Some of the other stories could use a bit more editorial polish. Additionally, the e-book formatting isn't quite right, with odd spaces and overlapping text. If you're willing to look past a few flaws, this is a very enjoyable read.
