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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

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>

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.

Rowell does not disappoint!

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!

An interesting anthology

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.
