 10/10! 100% recommend! The title reflects the contents of this anthology perfectly. It’s just the kind of book I needed this month. There’s magic, the supernatural, paranormal, feels, comedy, anime, aliens! So much nerdiness that made me laugh, cry, and maybe even have a little existential crisis. This was the best time! I was introduced to great authors and got to read works from some of my favorites. The introduction alone told me I’d love it here and fun was definitely had. I wish there were more new/adult anthologies with themes like this. Maybe it’s time to put my research cap on.
