This was my first time reading an Anthology and I have to say, it definitely leaves you wanting more. I mean, I knew these were all short stories, but I didn’t realize how short until I breezed through a few of them in a matter of minutes. I’ll admit, it was a bit frustrating to not really know all of these characters and their story in depth, but I think each other did a good job of at least introducing us to what would be amazing stories, some more than others, of course.What I loved most about this anthology, and what I hope anyone who reads this will take away from it, is that we get a sense of the writing style of various authors all in one place. While there were some that I know and love, which drew me to this originally, there were also I knew nothing about and I enjoyed reading their works. Naturally, there were some stories I devoured and others I “skimmed” through, but for the most part, I enjoyed all the stories.I imagine this is somewhat shorter than other anthologies out there, since it focuses on a particular theme. I loved that not all the “first times” were based on sex. There were quite a few, but also some about experiencing new things, opening yourself up, and discovering who you really are and what you really want. You’ve definitely got all kinds of romance that is sure to please everyone.If you’re looking for a mix of romantic times from various authors, you’ll want to give this a read, for sure.
