90% of the stories were so high caliber

Wasn’t living up to the premise. Read the reviews to see if continuing was worth it and it didn’t seem that way
I liked the one where the girl had sex with the San junipero style simulation though

This had so much potential. If you are given the change to write some erotica without having your name attached why write stories that are some of the most vanilla and boring romances I've ever see. I lost momentum and I honestly don't care at this point.

Most of the stories in this anthology i found really meh, and I honestly wouldn't recommend. I liked the idea, but the execution just wasn't there.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Some of the stories were super cringe. Like you knew they weren't used to writing smut/sex scenes while others actually did a good job of being spicy with a good story. I wish I knew who wrote what!

Thank you to NetGalley and Scribner for providing the arc of Anonymous Sex by approximately 27 authors, in exchange for my honest review.
What caught my attention with this book was the fact that they are short stories written anonymously. The authors could write whatever they wanted without putting their name on it. The stories range from sweet, innocent sex to hardcore BDSM, young love to elderly love, and everything in between, cheating, kink, revenge, unrequited, funny, and so on. There’s a little bit for everyone.
I wanted to LOVE this because I love the concept, but it fell a little flat for me. I found myself skipping over stories that I couldn’t get into - which I guess is fine. I think the hardest thing for me was the shortness of the stories. Everything felt very rushed and reminded me of Literotica but in a book form. I think if you’re open-minded and enjoy reading various erotic stories, you’ll find something in here to enjoy. I know I found a few and that’s why I’m giving this 3 stars. The stories I enjoyed were great.
If you’re into erotica, I’d recommend giving it a go, I’m sure you’ll find something the tickles your fancy.
