Girl Meets Boy: because there are two sides to every story is, like everyone says, a great concept. Get together some really great YA authors. Have the male authors write a short story from the guy's POV, have the female authors write their own version of the story, from the gal's POV. A lot of heavy hitters here: Terry Trueman, Chris Crutcher, the AMAZING Rita Williams-Garcia. I loved the idea and loved most of the stories, but the ones that I didn't love, I could barely get through and had to do the old read-from-the-end trick. I don't know. Not my thing. Hard to rate a book of short stories though, because some of the stories I just wanted to go on and on, and others...ugh.
