Our view
“My True Love Gave to Me” is a festive anthology of twelve young-adult love stories, ranging from the realistic to the frankly strange. Edited by Stephanie Perkins, it gathers names such as Holly Black and makes a handy sampler of new authors. Some readers find the stories uneven in quality; others tire of leads who nearly all carry a family sorrow. Best dipped into over the holidays, one tale at a time.
