The twenty one prom related stories in this collection range from sweet Adrienne Maria Vrettos's Mom Called, She Says You Have to Go to Prom to downright raunchy Holly Black's In Vodka Veritas and pretty much everything in between. There are good, bad, nonexistent, multiple, primate, and same sex prom dates. There is sex, drugs, drinking, dancing, magic, and love. In some stories, parents play a major role; in others, they are safely vacationing in a faraway location. In John Green's tale, The Great American Morp, there's no prom at all. There is a little bit of something for every reader.
