Love is Hell by Marr, Westerfeld, Larbalestier, Zevin, and Stolarz

Reading Level: Young Adult
(4 out of 5)
Sometimes I love to read short stories. I like that they are short and to the point. This book has a couple of authors I really like so I had to give it a try. Scott Westerfeld's story Stupid Perfect World was my favorite but they were all good. Gabrielle Zevin's story Fan Fictions was weird even for me and I'm not sure I liked it or not. I'm still rolling it around in my head. The other stories are Sleeping with the Spirit by Laurie Faria Stolarz, Thinner Than Water by Justine Larbalestier, and Love Struck by Melissa Marr.
From the back cover: "In these supernatural stories by five of today's hottest writers love may be twisted and turned around, but it's more potent than ever on its quest to conquer all.
From two students who let the power of attraction guide them to break the hard and fast rules of their world to the girl who falls hard for a good looking ghost with a score to settle, the clever, quirky characters in this exciting collection will break your heart, then leave you believing in love more than ever."
