I look forward to this collection each year. I get to see old favorites and also discover new ones. I like that there are new and old kinks that I get to experience or learn about.

This book felt different than previously published anthologies. I was expecting both coasts to be a part of this. It only focused on the West coast with a summary of the other coast. That left me a little bummed because I didn't feel like I had a say or investment like I did last year.

I did like seeing Jaxon, Emma, and Chase with their family. They keep getting better and better. Even though this wasn't my favorite, it was still a great collection to this amazing series and collaboration. ( )
