Cute & Delightful

Reading these stories reminded me of cupcakes. Delicious, warm, pretty all in small measures. I love Rainbow Rowell. The girl knows how to write characters who can make you cry and smile at the same time. Good to know she can come up with such amazing stuff in short measures as well. Can't wait for her next book.

The best part of the book were the illustrations. They were very beautiful. Both stories were cute but they were not interesting enough for me to love them.

Must read for all ages!

Reviewed in India on 13 October 2019

This is my first ever book that I read of Rainbow Rowell’s and I am really very pleased to have started with this particular one! Almost Midnight has two short stories in it – Midnights and Kindred Spirits. Both of them are really cute, fluffly and light reads.

Both the stories are on teenage romance. The first one – Midnights – is about two best friends and their encounters around every New Year’s eve… And the second one – Kindred Spirits – is about an Asian girl and her crazy love for the Star Wars series; camping and waiting in a line for the new Star Wars movie release with two other strangers of similiar likings…

The author writes the stories in such an ease. They are simple to read and you really connect with the stories. They make you go awwwww.. 🙂 It also has cute illustrations which makes reading this book fun! You can easily read this within few hours, the language is simple. Definitely kids and teens even adults can read this book. I would definitely recommend you pick up this sweet book for you or any kids around you!

EVERYONE LOVES RAINBOW ROWELL

I read this book so quickly, that im actually quite sad i didn't savour it!

I loved both stories equally, can't even pick which one i prefered!
I think Almost Midnight is maybe my favourite, but Kindred Spirits follows straight away.
I prefered the story of Almost Midnight, but maybe because i sort of new they were going to have a beautiful moment at the end, and i was excited for it...
I liked kindred spirits because i wasn't really expecting it! The ending was perfect and sweet, and simple. Just lovely. I would love this story to have been longer, but im not sure how much further it could have gone, maybe another star wars movie? Or we could see their relationship blossom.
You know what, these stories are just so cute, they make me feel cute!

The only thing i didn't like - The stories were over too quickly (i know this is the point of a short story, i just really enjoyed them)...

I dont see why anyone should not read this book? If you like short stories, read it. If you like Rainbow Rowell's cuteness she merges into all of her books, read it. If you like to want more, read it!

I have also read Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor and Park (Literally my FAVOURITE book), and Fangirl - Im yet to read Carry On, but i think i will soon now!

The image for the Hardback version does not do it justice. I purchased this knowing that it was a combination of two short stories, so I knew how small it was going to be. I would say that the cover art justifies the price and both of the stories were beautiful. Rainbow Rowell is a fantastic writer and I have enjoyed everything that I've read from her so far.

This book contains two very cute, fluffy and heartwarming festive short stories. I enjoyed both unique stories from a great author. The illustrations inside are amazing and eye catching, which helps set the scene of the stories and characters. Even the hardcover is really beautiful (I know, I know. Not to judge a book by its cover, but still....it is and added bonus that its cute.)
