Below you’ll find a mini-review of each of the stories in this anthology, so take what you will from that. Overall this book wasn’t for me but if you like romance and “meet cutes” you’ll probably like this. In terms of race and sexual orientation Meet Cute does a wonderful job of showing the different couples and I feel like the romance genre isn’t as diverse as it should be, so if you’re looking for more diverse romance you’ll enjoy this anthology just for that. What I did enjoy about this anthology was the diversity of it. It’s a difficult style to use and when done correctly can make for a great story which the three stories that used this narration style didn’t achieve. One of my biggest pet peeves about this book was the use of second person narration.
Mostly though the stories are simple and predictable, which is what I expect from most romance books. There are some real stinkers in here, a lot of forgettable ones, and a few that actually are wonderful. I knew what I was going into with this book and I didn’t have my hope up too high, which was good because this anthology was very meh. But I still read this anthology that was centered on romance, first love, and the whole “meet cute” trope. It’s not that I’m opposed to love, only that the tropes of it annoy me for how unrealistic it’s portrayed.
