My True Love Gave to Me

A collection of Christmas-themed romantic short stories, one for each of the 'twelve days', by some of the best known American YA authors: Holly Black, Ally Carter, Matt de la Peña, Gayle Forman, Jenny Han, David Levithan, Kelly Link, Myra McEntire, Stephanie Perkins, Rainbow Rowell, Laini Taylor, and Kiersten White.

Anthologies have the advantage of providing a variety of styles and subject material, so within the very girly cover readers should find something to enjoy. The tales range over varied geographical settings and cultural backgrounds, encompassing different winter traditions, and include some supernatural events and fantasy settings. Although the winter holiday provides the settings, some are more closely related to the theme than others, but throughout the romantic theme dominates.
