Volume one blew it out of the water for me! Whether writing about alien invasions, to awkward first love, each story was captivating in its own way. Every author did a phenomenal job at creating a unique, and intriguing story. I truly cannot wait to see the next volumes from Sucker Literary!" -Amy Yoelin
