While there were obviously stories I enjoyed more than others, this was a very solid selection overall. My favorites were The Treasure Map to My Heart, Living, Act of Grace, What Do I Get?, Love Yourself, and Big Man made me tear up, which is a feat for such a short comic.

This collection was hit or miss for me - the stories are really short, so some of them felt underdeveloped. I appreciated the diversity of the characters, though. Lots of BIPOC and bigger guys, and one story focusing on a trans guy. My favorite stories were “Another Name” and “Big Guy.” 🥺

Bite-sized cuteness, exactly what I wanted it to be.  Managed to include a lot of different stories without any of them feeling rushed.

This might be one of the sweetest things I've ever read, everything is realistic but hopeful and the art is impeccable! Glass and Miner did a phenomenal time editing this masterpiece, and there are some heavy hitters working on this in the graphic novel scene. A must grab, if you love romance, there are no misses in the collection.

A nice selection of short stories showing how love can blossom in many different ways.

Good if you're in the mood for something wholesome.
