Thank you Netgalley and Publishers for this free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love the idea of reading a bundle of sample pieces for upcoming releases. I wasn't too interested in a few but I've added The Passing Playbook to my TBR along with The Summer of Lost Letters and Sunny Gs Series of Rash Decisions.

I love these samplers because they give me sneak peeks of some great upcoming releases, and then I have a better idea of which ones I want to read in full! I absolutely love YA romance, so this is right up my alley. I'm excited about so many of these titles, including What's Not to Love, Heartbreakers and Fakers, The Summer of Lost Letters, and From Tokyo, With Love.

I mainly requested this preview because some girls do by Jennifer Dugan is one of my most anticipated reads on 2021 so I was dying to get my hands on anything about it and while I loved the snippet, I also found a few more books that I now can’t wait to read when they’re released! Specifically The Passing Playbook and From Little Tokyo, With Love!

I loved this sampler! Usually, I only read one excerpt, but I read all of them and loved them! I particularly loved WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE, SOME GIRLS DO, and HEARTBREAKERS AND FAKERS, three of my most anticipated 2021 YA romances. FROM LITTLE TOKYO, WITH LOVE was a surprise love, since it wasn’t exactly on my radar until I read this. While I’m a bit frustrated that the full books aren’t in my hands right this moment, I’m excited to read the full books when they come out!

I love YA romance and am so excited for new releases. This guide was the perfect amount of excerpts.

If you’re into Young Adult Romance then this sampler is for you.
The beauty of a sampler is that there’s something for everyone. Read Swoon Repeat is no different—while a couple of stories did not peak my interest, some, such as “From Little Tokyo, With Love”, did.

On the whole, a strong collection, though I didn't necessarily enjoy all of the excerpts equally. My favorite by far was "The Summer of Lost Letters" and I also enjoyed "What's Not To Love?" (which was half of the reason I'd requested the book, since I love Siegemund & Broka's books) and "From Little Tokyo, With Love" (the other half of the reason- "I Love You So Mochi" was one of my favorite books of 2019). Those three books will definitely be added to and/or remain on my TBR; the rest I would probably not read in full.

Young adult romance... Yes, please! I love that there is a sampler just for my favorite type of books, YA romance. Great selection of story samplers, although I do wish there were more. Also a clickable table of contents would be a nice addition. I look forward to reading the full books and have added a few of these to my tbr list. Great way to see what's coming soon.

I loved this sampler of upcoming titles! After reading the preview chapters I have added these to my TBR and can’t wait to read them. My most anticipated from their excerpts are Some Girls Do, Heartbreakers and Fakers, and Sunny G’s Series of Rash Decisions. I love YA romance, and providing teasers in this way is such a great way to build excitement for these titles. This would be a great preview to share with educators, librarians, and book clubs to assist in selecting upcoming titles. I can’t wait to read the full books!

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley which did not affect the content of my review. All opinions are honest and my own.

Like a classroom book talk but in print form. Great idea to include the sampler pack to get an idea of the writing style and plot of books before reading and recommending. This should be marketed to high school classrooms for teahchers to share with their students as well.

Lots of fun ideas for YA books to add to my To Be Read list!

This was really helpful and just a lot of fun to read! I definitely added some books to my TBR because some openings were just SO gripping. My favourite must of course be Some girls do by Jennifer Dugan! I was already dying to read it but now I'm literally CRAVING it!

Was this review helpful?

Immediately after reading these I added them all to my tbr list! These were all great and had me yearning for more. Whenever I walk into a bookstore I love reading the first chapter of romance books because they are so enjoyable and I love getting a taste of them before I dive in and these were perfect! I completely want to read all these books now.

I’m so addicted to these samplers with a few chapters of several books in one place! It’s such a great way to read the writing style before deciding to commit to a book! Thanks so much for putting this together!

I love being able to get a preview of a bunch of upcoming books in one place! I am looking forward to reading quite a few of these books once they are released, including The Summer of Lost Letters, Heartbreakers and Fakers and The Passing Playbook.

I am so excited for all of these upcoming releases from penguin teen! These all sound like such fun and cute romantic reads! I am especially excited for What's Not to Love, From Little Tokyo With Love, and The Summer of Lost Letters. I love the bookish aspect of What's Not to Love, the loosely fairy-tale inspired aspect of From Tokyo with Love, and the historical aspect of The Summer of Lost Letters. I am so pumped for all of these books!
