Hi guys! I’m back today for Blogmas day 4 and today I’m bringing you a review. Because we’re the holiday season I thought that it would be a good idea to re-read My True Love Gave to Me that was edited by Stephanie Perkins. If you don’t know this book is a collection of twelve short stories related to the this season of the year. Because this has twelve different stories I decided to do a review for each one of them and today I’m here with the review of Midnights, written by Rainbow Rowell.

Review:
This is the first short story of the book and I loved it. It really starts this book pretty well. This is something that doesn’t surprised me because it’s written by Rainbow Rowell and I love all of her books (except Carry On because I still haven’t read it). In this story we meet Mags and Noel and we see what they’ve been up to in New Years Eve for the last 4 years. I loved the characters and the premise of this story. It was cute and fluffy and I always like things like that. Even though that is really short Rainbow Rowell was able to develop it very well and you could see the change in the characters every year. My only problem with this one is that I wanted it to be longer but that’s the problem with short stories, they’re short 😛 .
This is all I have to say in this mini-review. If I say more stuff I will spoil someone and I don’t want to do that. Have you read My True Love Gave to Me? What did you think about Midnights?
I thought it was a really cute story when I read it. I actually would have loved it more if it were longer. (*´◡`*)

Midnight was one of my favorite short stories from the book! I loved how their relationship developed each year and how they finally came together!

I don’t remember that well for some reason (that’s why I’m re-reading 😛 ) but I know that I liked most of the short stories. There were a few that I really didn’t like but overall I did enjoy most of it

My advice is to you to look to the authors. If you like at least half of them you’ll probably enjoy most of the stories 🙂

It’s a really cool book. It has twelve short stories by different authors and most of them are actually good. Also, it’s a great book for this time of the year 🙂

I really wanted to read this book last year, but I couldn’t find it in the bookstores so I ended up buying other books 😛 Maybe I’ll find it this Christmas 🙂
