From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell comes her first short-story collection, Scattered Showers

Rainbow Rowell has won fans all over the world by writing about love and life in a way that feels true.

In her first collection, she gives us nine beautifully crafted love stories. Girl meets boy camping outside a movie theater. Best friends debate the merits of high school dances. A prince romances a troll. A girl romances an imaginary boy. And Simon Snow himself returns for a holiday adventure.

It’s a feast of irresistible characters, hilarious dialogue, and masterful storytelling—in short, everything you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell audiobook.

Critic reviews

<p>"Rowell offers more of what she does best: character-driven stories interlaced with a healthy dose of nerdiness and a little sappy indulgence thrown in as a treat. It’s easy to get swept up in these tales and root so passionately for the protagonists that it almost hurts, but readers will close the covers feeling satisfied...A treat." - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>“Rowell is talented enough to be uncategorizable.” —Janet Maslin, <i>The New York Times</i>, on <i>Landline</i><br><br>“Rowell nails the voices of her teen protagonists—her writing swings from profane to profound, but it’s always real and always raw.”—Petra Mayer, <i>NPR Books</i>, on <i>Eleanor & Park</i><br><br>“Absolutely captivating.”—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review) on <i>Fangirl</i></p>

Rowell does not disappoint!

The final story in particular just blew me away! But all of Rowell’s characters are people I would love to meet and be friends with in my life. Each of them seems to take up permanent residence in my mind.

love Rainbow Rowell

came for Simon and Baz, but all of these stories were fantastic, especially the last one

Lovely sampler of Rainbow Rowell

Sampler quilt… a flight of short stories…great way to get started
And Rebecca Lowman was perfect for telling the stories

An interesting anthology

A lot of these stories weren’t as interesting as others which is why I gave it 5 stars. Something for everyone. I felt like some stories had to be sped up to keep me even a little bit interested. But I know that’s more me than anything.

My only complaint is that I wish there were more platonic love stories, it get like a romantic love story in the majority of these short stories. But regardless I liked the book!

wonderful

I'm genuinely sad it's over. I love Rainbow Rowell and her stories are always wonderful. I loved getting to hear side stories about characters I loved and characters I wanted to know more about as well as new characters. I'd love more of these styled stories in the future too. just all around wonderful and superb.
