This seems logical considering the anti-male climate that has permeated our culture since the 1960s." "Most Nice Guys believe that by repressing the darker side of their masculine energy they will win the approval of women. Which yes, is a solution this book works toward but the author doesn't seem to have a whole lot of awareness of how women are raised and how THAT effects men, and how that leads to women raising boys as if they're women. Maybe the solution isn't more fathers to teach "men how to be men," it's to stop treating women like they exist to fulfill the needs and desires of men. Like oh, you don't like having to shove down your feelings and constantly cater to the desires of another gender? That's because it sucks, welcome to womanhood. Let's get real: this is a book about men being upset about being treated like women. ![]()

As for this collection, it was good, it was engaging, and it was filled with characters the reader knows and loves the message about love and acceptance was also really well incorporated into all the stories, which was nice to read about. It wouldn’t be surprising if some of those stories were a foreshadowing to her upcoming trilogy. Some felt like they were written for the reader just to please them because it didn’t feel relevant to any plot. The plots varied, some were truly cute and heartwarming and kept the reader invested, whereas some felt slightly out of place.
