Hungry Hearts was a really fun anthology. I've never seen an anthology where all the characters and stories are interwoven. Whether they were just visiting or lived there, we got to see characters from different stories interacting with each other or mentioning each other. I really liked that I got to see characters more than once and learn a little bit more about them. It also really drove home the fact that Hungry Hearts Row is a family and they all care and look out for each other.
I only didn't like two stories in this anthology and I still wholeheartedly recommend it. I loved seeing all the different cultures throughout this anthology but also their foods. I really liked taking a look at different cultures foods and what it means to them. This was a unique way to look at their diversity as I've never seen it done before.
These stories tackled an array of problems that I feel like anyone can relate to, whether or not the situation pertains exactly to them. Anna-Marie McLemore's story was my favorite but that's a little unfair to the other authors as she is one of my favorite authors ever.
