My Review:

Returning to this world was like catching up with old friends. This truly is one of the best series I have read in years and I cannot get enough. I worried that I would struggle to remember people and places as it's been a few months since I read the series, but I fell straight back into it and loved every moment. My only issue with short stories is that I always want more, but this is a charming addition to the overall series. 

I also liked that each story was from a different point in the series and focused on a wide range of characters, not just Avery. I mainly loved the story about her sister - the 'Cowboy and the Goth' - that one was really cute. 

My Rating:
