Burning Bright: Four Chanukah Love Stories by Megan Hart, Stacey Agdern, K.K. Hendin, Jennifer Gracen

emotional lighthearted medium-paced

3.0

Four stories in this anthology and only one was a total bust, so not terrible overall. I don’t want to influence anyone’s opinion, so I won’t write specifics, but the one flop of a story didn’t work for me because the writing was terrible, the characters were duds, and the story was unrealistic. The other three I enjoyed for different reasons. The only major critique I have of one of the stories is I don’t think that one of the main characters would act the way they did because of their schooling/upbringing, but maybe another reader might not be bothered by that. Also, there’s a letter that’s written to the other main character and I would really have liked to know what it said. Otherwise they were fun to read because I related to the characters on different levels, the stories were sweet, and while a HEA was achieved, it wasn’t what you’d necessarily expect.
