YA
Holiday romance connects the twelve tales in this enjoyable anthology by well-known YA authors, including Rainbow Rowell, David Levithan, Laini Taylor, and editor Perkins. The stories feature teen protagonists of different races, sexual identities, and ethnicities confronting obstacles and insecurities in pursuit of new love amidst winter holiday celebrations. The eclectic stories--some fantastical, some realistic--all conclude with hopeful, if not always happy, endings.
