Blackout (UK)

This book gave me everything that I needed. I’m such a fan of the YA genre. Getting one book with several of my favorite YA authors was such a gift. The stories made me feel youthful and optimistic. I was rooting so hard for each couple. I loved getting a mix of friends to lovers, second chance love, and even a super sweet meet-cute. This book left me feeling so good.

This is a heartwarming collection of short stories that are brilliantly told. Loved the stories, loved the characters. Recommend to all teens and Young Adult.

The six incredible authors of this book have crafted something truly special within its pages. Not only are the individual stories gorgeous, they’re also formatted and flawlessly weaved together in a way that acts as further proof of the sheer talent these authors hold.

This book of short stories pleasantly surprised me. The stories were so beautifully interconnected. We start with two EXES who are competing for a job. We follow their story across New York.

While we walk with them we meet Jacorey. Jacorey is a gay athlete who has yet to come out. I almost screamed in delight when I heard Dion Graham's voice. (SERIOUSLY. THAT MAN CAN READ A BOOK).

We met Nella who deserves more than she thinks she does. Lana, who is pretty sure she knows what she wants and is lost in a library. Kayla, who is in a relationship BUT, may possibly want something else. Then Seymour and Grace who are sharing a ride through the city.
