Grand Central: Original Stories of Postwar Love and Reunion by Sarah Jio, Kristina McMorris, Erika Robuck, Sarah McCoy, Amanda Hodgkinson, Jenna Blum, Pam Jenoff, Karen White, Melanie Benjamin, Alyson Richman

5.0

I am generally not a fan of short story compilations, but the cover (a soldier and a young woman kissing the grand four-sided clock in the main terminal) caught my eye. All of the stories center around a single day at post-World War II Grand Central Station, and all of the stories interconnect at some small moment, bringing them together.

I found this to be a wonderful collection of stories. There were all so different, but each built well upon the one before it. I felt an emotional pull for each main character, and I kept rooting for the happy ending, even if it wasn't the traditional kind of happy ending. I like to believe they all got it.
