Average: 3.28 stars, but I still chose to round up to 4 stars because there were some gems in here. Overall thoughts: This anthology took me a while to get through, but I’m glad I eventually did. There were ups and downs, as is with any anthology, but I think it was a rewarding experience in the end. Most of the short stories by authors I haven’t read before served to add a few more books to my TBR, and I’m looking forward to checking these authors’ longer works. Overall, a decent collection of

So I was expecting more broken hearts and such (like how love triangles aren't all great as three hearts can't all be happy?)Favorite shorts in here:La Revancha Del Tango by Renée Ahdieh

DNF at 38%It's a cute book. If you're into love triangles that aren't really love triangles and looking for an easy read where only half a brain is needed.

Three Sides of a Heart is not the best anthology I've ever read, but it's surely one of the most interesting and surprising ones. These authors took an overused trope and made something new with it, and while not everyone succeeded, the anthology as a whole worked. I'm neutral about love triangles, but even if you don't like them, you won't necessarily hate this - Three Sides of a Heart is about unconventional triangles, the ones you don't see in full novels. Diverse triangles, polyamory, trope

Full Review on The Candid CoverThree Sides of a Heart is an anthology not to be missed. These sixteen short stories by some of my favourite authors each put a spin on the classic love triangle trope. There is definitely something for everyone, and it might even change your opinion on love triangles.I love the concept of this anthology! The love triangle gets a lot of hate in YA, but honestly, I can appreciate one that is well-executed. Three Sides of a Heart takes this trope and twists it, givin...

ARC provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.First off, I did enjoy this, but this collection uses the term “love triangle” very loosely, in my opinion. Some of the stories could have probably benefited from a stricter use of the word. It was so very diverse in race, sexuality, settings, social structures, and more, and I really appreciated it. I honestly felt like the majority of these stories had a queer aspect to them and that brings so much joy to me. A few of...

3.5 StarsMost people hate love triangles but I love them. I love the drama and messiness of a Good love triangle. Maybe I'm drawn to them because I've been in one. Back when I was young and messy enough to have been on a reality show(unfortunately I wasn't though I did think about auditioning for The Real World) I was in love with 2 men. One was my first serious boyfriend, he was sweet, funny and I'd known him since birth. The other was complete trash and just a terrible person but I just couldn...

I do not know how I feel about this anthology, beacuse for me love triangle has always been a very frustrating subject. Ugh Ugh, It disturbs me, mostly due to the confusion it creates in my mind, and my indecisiveness when it comes to choosing makes me want yo pluck my hair out. I can safely say Sabaa Tahir's story was my favourite, because I was very confident about my choice, so Yayyyy! 5 stars to Tahir, and also 5 stars to Reneè beacuse her story was cute and basically lacked the essence of l...

See more of my reviews on The YA Kitten! I got an eARC from the publisher via Edelweiss, but what I read was a hardcover I bought at a later date.Anthologies are always hard to review, but an anthology full of stories featuring love triangles? Lord help me, I can't pick out just a handful to spotlight! I can, however, result to my old way of reviewing anthologies: detailing a bit about each story, this time with the triangle types and their endgame pairings listed as well but without giving them...

(I received an advance copy of this book for free. Thanks to HarperCollins and Edelweiss.)This was an okay collection of short stories, although some of them I found really confusing. There were a couple of good ones in here though, with the best ones being ‘The Historian, The Garrison, and the Cantakerous Catwoman’ by Lamar Giles, ‘Vim and Vigor’ by Veronica Roth, and ‘Unus, Duo, Tres’ by Bethany Hagen. I’ll do mini reviews for each below.‘Riddles in Mathematics’ by Katie Cotugno- 3 stars –This...

3.5 star!As with all anthologies, there were stories I really liked, others that were just okay, and some that I strongly disliked. I do have to say that many stories in this anthology didn't read like a love triangle to me. I always believed a love triangle was when a person, be it our main character or their love interest, has to pick between two parties who each have an equal chance of being chosen. Many of the stories in this collection have our main character and their love interest, and a

Average Rating: 3.81 Stars, but I'm giving a five because there were so many stories here on my new faves list. This was a fantastic short story collection, and I have to admit I was really pleasantly surprised after seeing some mediocre reviews. What stands out about this collection to me is the creativity. So much speculative fiction and so many weird ideas! There's a lot of weirdness hidden within this collection, and I have no doubt even some of my fave stories will be polarizing - I've alre...

2/5Wow, I did not expect to dislike this book because usually I am a huge fan of short story collections. I only truly liked, maybe 3 or 4 of the 16 stories and most of them were unmemorable.This short story collection is supposed to be about love triangles but more than half of them didn't really even have a love triangle in it??I am filming a solo video review for this and sharing my ratings for each, individual story. So bummed I didn't enjoy this.

Love triangles - I need to write YA because it sells the best but I have no idea how to keep anybody interested with my lame plot. Let me introduce two hottest guys in love with the worst type of girl imaginable. Poor girl has no idea which one to choose. No worries! In YA men don't mind being played around. Even if they're brothers.

my personal faves:Riddles in Mathematics by Katie Cotugno This was a contemp story with an equal helping of feels and fluff, with an f/m/f triangle and a newly out lesbian MC adjusting to her new reality out of the closet. Really cute and feelsy.La Revancha del Tango by Renee Ahdieh: Thank god for Renee restoring my faith in the world with this funny, bantery story about an American girl who is staying in a hostel in Buenos Aires and the cute boys she meets there. She angry flirts with one about...

Three Sides of a Heart is a collection of sixteen short stories about love triangles, of varying natures and sexualities. I honestly wouldn't have picked this anthology up if it wasn't for buddy reading it with Melanie , because I'm not typically a big fan of the trope, but some of these stories executed it wonderfully! I will say that this collection is a huge mixed bag of good and bad stories, and many of the tales aren't what I consider triangles at all, but we'll get there.→ Riddles in Mathe...

3.5 starsNever in a million years did I think I would willingly read a book about love triangles, but this had too many awesome authors to skip. My favorites were the stories from Sabaa Tahir and Bethany Hagen. Both felt properly fleshed out with excellent characters and fantastic endings. I could have easily read more of either, but was quite satisfied with the story as it was.The rest of the stories were good, but nothing else stood out to me. Several felt rushed and underdeveloped. Overall, a...

Total rating: 3.3 starsLove triangles has been and will always be such a divisive topic and controversial trope that we are quite familiar with because it is there in every other book whether we want it or not. Sometimes, it manages to surprise us and other times it is an utter and complete failure. So why not try this collection and see for yourself if you can still be impressed by a well written love triangle and if you’re certainly over it by now. Riddles in Mathematics by KATIE COTUGNO : 4...

Now this might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t really have a problem with love triangles. Knowing a book has a love triangle doesn’t immediately turn me off the book, so I came into this anthology excited to see how these authors executed this divisive trope, but I wasn’t necessarily looking for a complete reinvention or trope subversion. That said, some of the stories in Three Sides of a Heart bring a fresh new take to the love triangle that was a lot of fun to see. Average rating: 3.77 St...
