This was cute and great for a younger YA audience or as an intro to YA. I would buy it for my tweens.

I thought the 3 short stories were cute and unique. However, I did find it a bit hard to buy into each character and their love story bc the stories were shorter.

When I saw that these 3 amazing women were writing
a book together I knew I had to read it ASAP. I was
beside myself when I found out I got approved. I loved
this book so much. The book has 3 different POVs, of 3
besties, and their love stories during one magical night.
All 3 of these stories were perfect in their own way.
I really hope we get more books written by
Chokshi, Skye, and Menon!

Such a clever and unique interwoven story! This reminded me a bit of Gilmore Girls with a lot of magic and heart. Loved this collaborative effort!

As a big fan of Roshani Chokshi's work and a moderate enjoyer of Sandhya Menon's books, I just knew I had to pick up Three Kisses, One Midnight when the deal was announced. However, I did not enjoy this book as much as I had expected to. I love a good witch story, and was especially excited to see Chokshi pull from her Filipina heritage.
Unfortunately, while I found the writing to be beautiful and easy to read, I wasn't a huge fan of the anthology-esque style of the novel. I had expected the tale to be interwoven between the three main characters--The Coven--and it was (to an extent) but not to the degree which I would have liked. I truly wish I could have enjoyed this more.

Three Kisses, One Midnight is a warm cup of cider on a crisp cool night. Three stories of three friends all entwined on Halloween night. Such a cute fun story to bring you all the feels of All Hallows Eve.

Three kisses one midnight by Roshani Chokshi, Sandhya Menon, and Evelyn Skye is a ya contemporary with a mixed of fantasy in it and it was a fun cute read! I loved how even though this was a short story collection I loved how they all interweive with each other! I think my favorite story was the first one because it had one of my favorite tropes in it and that is: Friends to lovers, and I just really loved ony as a character! Overall rating is: 4/5 stars!
Ps. I want to say thank you to Wenesday books for sending me an e-arc and sorry it took me so long to read and review it! Also I read this for spring into reading readathon and it was for the prompt of: Read a book with yellow and pink on the cover!(:

Three Kisses, One Midnight is set in a town reminiscent of Stars Hollow, featuring interconnected stories about three witchy best friends and their romantic quest involving love potions (that may or may not work) and true love's kiss before the clock strikes midnight. I was sucked into this story and couldn't put it down. It's not surprising that these three seasoned writers can write such engaging, engrossing, and entertaining scenes. In their hands, this story was three times the magical, cute fun!

Read Three Kisses, One Midnight! I promise, you’ll be hooked.

What a heartbreaking magical read! I loved the connection between the past and present. There was incredible character development and beautifully descriptive settings.

I had to include one book that works for the season; this one is perfect to cozy up with your choice of hot drink, be it cocoa or that pumpkin spiced whatever! Cuteness, magical overtones, romance, friendship, and other swoon-worthy moments make this book a great read to start now. Plus, I am in awe at how the three different authors wove the stories and characters together so beautifully. While I have enjoyed Sandhya Menon’s books before, Roshani Chokshi has(well, had) been on my TBR for too long. I am yet to read Evelyn Skye (her other books, I mean).

Thanks to NetGalley for the digital review copy of this book.

Three Kisses, One Midnight by Roshani Chokshi, Evelyn Skye, and Sandhya Menon is a collection of three short stories. They follow three best friends Onny, Ash, and True—known as “The Coven”. After Onny brews a love potion from a recipe passed down by her late grandmother, she shares it with her two best friends so the trio can use it on their crushes. All will go down on Halloween night.

This collection is cute and great for a little bit of fun, lighthearted romance. Out of the three, my favorite story is the first one.

*I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.*

This is a light-hearted book about three friends finding true love one magical night near Halloween during their senior year of high school. It was cute and fun, but it lacked that something extra to bring it above three stars for me. If you're looking for a book that won't take you too long to read and is basically just sugar, you'll probably enjoy this one. (My start date is skewed--I began reading this while also reading another book that I was more interested in, so I didn't actually start giving this book my attention until a week ago.)

Onny's, Ash's, and True's stories were each different and fit will with their characters. Yes, they were predictable, but sometimes that's okay. I liked their love interests, too (not giving away names here). I did feel, however, that another couple in the book kind of hijacked all three chapters, with all the surrounding characters (including the main three) constantly gushing about how perfect they were for each other, etc. I just didn't care.

Note: Some swearing, including 2 f words. A gay couple (supporting characters that are a big focus of every chapter).

This is a really cute book. The story follows three friends as they use a love potion to try to find their true loves and seal it with a kiss before midnight. I enjoyed how each of the friends had a different journey to take and lesson to learn. Onny's journey was first and was my favorite of the three she's the one who brewed the potion and was just such a fun character. Ash's story was next, he is such a cute and sweet artist, and lastly we get True's tale who is the most reluctant to see the magic of the night. All the characters were well done and I really enjoyed the format of the book. My one complaint is that the story's were really predictable, there wasn't really anything surprising that happened but it was still a really fun read.

I gave this a four out of five stars. I really enjoyed this book. It was different than I thought it was but I loved it. I can’t wait to add this to my collection.

I enjoyed how these stories intertwined together. Great representation and diversity in this. It was a great read for this time of year.

Three Kisses, One Midnight is more like an anthology than a novel. They feel like three separate stories with one main theme. This book tells the stories of three people falling in love. I found this book to be very well-written. Even though it is set in modern-day, it gives a fairytale feel to the story. Overall, I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys reading sweet romances!

Unfortunately I didn’t love this book. I think mainly because it’s too YA for me as I am 25 but I think for anyone in middle school or high school it would be perfect.

Three Kisses, One Midnight is a sold 3.5. The characters were very cute, each having their own little story and personality. The first story begins with Onny and her adventure for love. She is so fun with her belief in magic. Ash and his love of art was very interesting and his story has to be my favorite. I find myself in True a lot and I loved how she grappled with love. The plot is incredibly faced-paced which does take away some enjoyment because the stories changed before you can really get into the minds of the three MCs. The writing was very smooth between authors and I have no idea who wrote what or how everything was divided. It had at all the spooky Halloween feels.
