Fifty First Times by Julie Cross

4.0

Really well done anthology of new adult stories. The majority of the stories hooked me right in and made me want more story from the characters. Some of my favorites stories were:

Daylight by Julie Cross was so beautifully written. I loved Jack and Audrey's story. I would LOVE a full length novel about them. Jack's back story is so mysterious and interesting. Audrey's love for Jack is so heartwarming. And her faith and trust in him is so deep. Totally loved this story.

A Little Too Scarred by Lisa Desrochers was another story where the characters hooked me from chapter one. What a beautiful story about rediscovery, steadfastness, and the true meaning of beauty.

How to Be a Heart Breaker by Lauren Lanye was adorably funny. Garrett and Annie's conversations are so sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek. When they finally tell each other how they feel I yelled out and cheesed so hard. This is definitely a "feel good" story.

Two in the Morning by Roni Loren surprised me! I didn't think Bates would have the happy ending he wanted to have. I was thrilled with the way this story played out.

Believe in Me by J. Lynn = <3. So much cheesing.

Sharing Firsts by Molly McAdams had me crying so many sad and happy tears. What an emotional story!

Love in an Elevator by Carrie Ryan had me wishing I was stuck in an elevator with Russell myself! :)

With the Lights On by Alessandra Thomas was another beautifully written story about the power of love.
