Shannon Kay reviewed Scattered Showers by Rainbow Rowell
Review of 'Scattered Showers' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
A delightful collection of short stories by Rainbow Rowell. A few that I had already read.
• Midnights - New Years Eve story. Have already read and loved. Also in My True Love Gave To Me.
• Kindred Spirits - Previously published, but I hadn’t read it yet. About a girl waiting in line for Star Wars The Force Awakens in 2015. Really cute.
• Winter Songs for Summer - Set in what must be, like, 1999/2000ish on a college campus. Really cute story featuring mix CDs.
• The Snow Ball - (skipped because it seemed Christmassy and I wanted to save it until after Thanksgiving) Cute. I like the weird best friends and Star Trek is obviously better than Prom. True Story: The day of my senior prom, I was at a theatre festival.
• If the Fates Allow - Read last year and loved. About Christmas 2020.

• If the Fates Allow - Read last year and loved. About Christmas 2020.
• The Prince and the Troll - Weird and fun. A sort of fantasy story about a bridge troll who I think turned out to be a mermaid, but her river had dried up. Because of the road.
• Mixed Messages - I decided to read this, even though I haven’t read Attachments. It was an enjoyable story that was mostly a text message conversation between two friends who are women nearing their fifties.
• *Snow for Christmas - the Simon Snow story. Haven’t read those books, but have read Fangirl. I skipped this one.
• In Waiting - This was like being inside of Rainbow Rowell’s head. It was really funny at the beginning. It was really interesting and reflective as it progressed.
