How They Met and Other Stories David Levithan Books

Collections of short stories are always nice to have on your bedside table. You can read one a night and feel like you read a whole story. Usually collections have a theme or they have a common author. This collection has both. David Levithan has been writing Valentine's Day stories since he was in high school. This is a collection of some of those stories. They all have a connecting theme of love or relationship.

It's always awkward to review a collection of short stories. Do I review each individual story? Do I just review the overall book? Do I review some highlights? I think what I'll do is give you my overall feel of the book and then throw some random things at you that you might find intriguing.

One thing I loved about these short stories was that initially you didn't necessarily know the gender of the main character in each story. If you don't know the gender then you definitely don't know their sexual orientation. It shows how universal love is. Gender and sexual orientations don't matter. Everyone experiences love. I also liked the variety of the relationships shown. Reading about high school relationships as a 24-year old brings back nostalgia for such naivety.

Here comes the random. Miss Lucy had a Steamboat. Prom. Chance, luck, and coincidences on an airplane. Middle school crushes. A purely physical relationship. Family expectations and acceptance. When someone you love is far away. Alternate prom. Physics. The power of music. Unrequited love. Long lasting, routine love. Accidents create life.

I highly recommend this book. Devid Levithan is such a great author. If you haven't read Every Day go read that now! And read this collection of short stories as well! I give this collection a 4/5.

How They Met and Other Stories David Levithan Books Reviews

What an amazing book of stories from David Levithan! I laughed, I cried, and I was forever changed. Read this. You will NOT regret it.
I love the way he can make me forget where I'm sitting and so vividly see the scenes playing out from the page. Amazing story teller.
I like David Levithan and originally fell in love with the Lover's Dictionary. This book is cute and has a wide range of love stories. People who meet on planes was my favorite. It just didn't wow me.
A very hot and cold way of looking at love and relationships. Shows how love comes in all shapes and sizes, or how it doesn't quite come at all. Teaches you to never think to much, or in some cases to think a lot. A very good book for the close minded people, and an even better book for open minded people. Some stories seemed to repeat others almost to a T, but there was plenty of original and unique stories also.
I love this author but this book was kinda boring...
I bought this book after reading Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. That book was really good, so I wanted to get more from the authors, David Levithan wrote the "Nick" part of the story. This book kept coming up in my recommendations, so I finally ordered it. It was so good. I finished it in less than a week. I read the first story and wasn't too impressed, I figured I'd send it to a friend when I was done with the whole thing. But as I read on, the stories got better and better. They were so real and heartwarming and heartbreaking. I keep it on my headboard with other books I read at least once a year. It's supposed to be for Young Adults, but me and my mother both read it and loved it.
This is the perfect book to read when you only have a few minutes at a time to read. Short stories that transport you to an airplane, to sitting in the room of your ex, talking to his mother. The couples are M/M and M/F. A hodgepodge of chance encounters and remembered romances. Only a few stories jumped out at me, but that's okay. A little something for everyone. 3.4
