This book is an enjoyable and endearing collection of all the little ways that we experience love stories in the course of our lives. No matter where you are in life or love, you'll find a story in this book that will speak to your soul. It's one of those collections that reminds us that when it comes down to it, we're all the same in the ways that matter most.

This book did not download to my kindle so I cannot review it. ...............................................

Thank you, NetGalley, for this read.

I waited longer than I wanted to read this, but I read it at just the right time. After a few non-fiction reads, important but devastating, these stories of love, light and hope were the encouragement I needed to see the good.

I'm a sucker for Modern Love columns and this book hit the spot. Grab some tea and a blanket, start a fire, and read for the afternoon. You'll be glad you did.

Tiny Love Stories: True Tales of Love in 100 words or less (by Daniel Jones and Miya Lee) is a compilation of short love stories from the New York Times “Modern Love” column. These short snippets are a brief snippet of epic love stories that have lasted and the spark of love stories that never began. Love stories encompass familial love of brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons. Love as a testament to a grandparents’ legacy. Brief trysts and falling out of love are also included in this edition.

I read Tiny Love Stories as an electronic advanced reader’s copy, so the pictures and illustrations associated with the stories weren’t as cohesive as a print version. There were a few stories that touched the heart strings, and a couple that left me cold. This is something that you don’t necessarily have to read consecutively. You could pick up and read a few stories at time.

I had an opportunity to review Tiny Love Stories via NetGalley.

I have long loved the NYT "Modern Love" column. I was also intrigued when the Modern Love editors put out the call for 100 word (or less) love stories. I hadn't read many of them before this book, though.

Let me tell you, this book is a delight. If you're looking for a book that will let you feel lots of feelings, this one is an excellent option. With the benefit that each story is only 100 words, so you can feel a lot of different feelings in quick succession. There are so many kinds of love represented - parent and child, first love and heartbreak, queer and straight, and much more. I read the book straight through, but it would also be a good book to just open to a random page and read a story or two.

Thanks to Netgalley, which provided a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

(4.5 stars)
Tiny Love Stories is inspired by the New York Times column, Modern Love. In this book, the love stories are limited to a maximum of 100 words.
The charm of this story collection leaps off of the page. Tiny Love Stories includes stories of all kinds of love, as well as a wide spectrum of emotions. There is almost certainly a love story in here for everyone (and it's worth mentioning that not all the stories are romantic, nor are there guaranteed happy endings).
One aspect to note is that the brevity of the text causes minor confusion regarding tone and semantics at times - an occupational hazard of working within a 100-word limit.

Many, many thanks for making a copy available for me to read. This was a fast read and a delightful one! In this day and age, love is absolutely worth celebrating. This is an absolute gem and is going to be a welcome holiday gift for many. It's just a gem!

This was a quick read with short love stories that encompass a range of relationships, from married, to parenting, to caring for parents, to friendship, and even learning to love yourself. While the stories are quickly read, some are truly thought-provoking and deep. Some made me smile, some made me laugh, and some made me want to cry. This is a terrific book for reading in short segments of time, though one could fly through it in an hour or so if they want to. Even then, though, it would be easy to pick up and reread a favorite love story when the urge hit. Lovely book!

I'D GIVE THIS 6 STARS IF I COULD! An incredible collection of love stories of all types (romantic, familial, friendship, loss) that is impeccably diverse and impressively timely. While some submissions are written like a tweet and others approach the perfectly poetic, each masterfully exposes a raw, relatable emotion in so few words. In 2020, Tiny Love Stories serves to reunite us with a reminder that we are not so different from one another.

Thank you to NetGalley, Artisan Books, and Daniel Jones & Miya Lee for the ARC!

Tiny Love Stories comes from the New York Times, where they ran a challenge, asking readers to submit a love story in 100 words or less. These are some of the stories they chose.
The stories included cover all kinds of love - parent/child, wife/husband, boyfriend/girlfriend, same sex relationships and more. They cover the ending of love and the beginning of love. They cover lasting love and forbidden love and short, beginning love.
The ones that really touched me are those of kids who write about parents, especially those with dementia or at the end of their life.
This book is a re-affirmation that there is still love out there and humanity does still care. In a time when there is so much doom and gloom in the world, these stories will warm your heart.
