Three Sides of a Heart by Natalie C. Parker

Title: Three Sides of a Heart: Stories about Love Triangles

Author: Natalie C. Parker et al

Rating: ★★★★★

Release Date: December 19, 2017

Knowing a book has a love triangle doesn’t immediately turn me off the book, so I came into this anthology excited to see how these authors executed this divisive trope, but I wasn’t necessarily looking for a complete reinvention or trope subversion. That said, some of the stories in Three Sides of a Heart bring a fresh new take to the love triangle that was a lot of fun to see.
