I liked lots of the other stories in this collection, too. Francesca Zappia is another author that I am new to, but now really want to read more of. And yet… I loved watching the relationships morph and change, and seeing her realize she had an opportunity for new friendships, and to wrestle with how to move into that. This is another one that had expert setup, so that in just a few words, I felt like I knew the main character and could understand how she felt about a troop of outsiders stomping through a grief-bound tradition of hers. “The Ghost of Goon Creek” by Francesca Zappia Also, it was a perfect nighttime, snowed-in-together story. I loved the aching romance and the swirling snowstorm blanketing the world outside the flower shop.

This story took advantage of some of my favorite romance tropes and centered them around a wheelchair-bound character. “Old Rifts and Snowdrifts” by Kayla Whaley I think it’s my favorite from the whole collection. So my expectations for her work were really high, and this story absolutely delivered for me. I just finished THE AGATHAS, which I loved, and YOU’D BE HOME NOW tore out my heart in the best possible ways. I feel like I’m kind of on a roll with Kathleen Glasgow’s storytelling. I also loved the anticipation as it built up toward the end of the story. In just a few pages, I felt like I knew the characters and had a sense of the city where they were. This is the first time I’ve read anything by Julian Winters, and I feel like I’ve been missing out. Here’s what I thought about some of my favorites from UP ALL NIGHT: “Under Our Masks” by Julian Winters Lots more of them have been on my TBR list for a long time, so I was excited to read this collection in order to sample some of those authors and some new ones, too. I’ve read stories by about a third of the authors with stories in this book.

It’s a time for breaking up, for falling in love-for finding yourself. Adults are asleep, and a hush falls over the hum of daily life. As the hours tick by deeper into the night, the familiar drops away and the unfamiliar beckons. When everyone else goes to bed, the ones who stay up feel like they’re the only people in the world.
