Blackout
Reviews
This book was a fun read. It was a collection of short stories which all interconnected like a bookish version of Love Actually. I love when books and series feature easter eggs or meta elements so this was perfect for me This was written by a collection of authors during lockdown and I think the inspiration behind the project was brilliant. This book features POC characters and was written by POC authors and I enjoyed the diversity
the different story lines all being connected was so fun to read, the characters were really lovable but i wish some the storylines had a bit more a conclusion. overall a really good book. 10/10 would read again
a really fun and cute feel good ya romance—but not just one story, several that weave and bob about one another in the midst of a new york city blackout. think: love actually but instead of christmas, it’s got a similar setting/characters to in the heights (and tbh this is the better-constructed nyc blackout story… sorry lin) also, a book that celebrates black authors and black voices with an all black cast of main characters. read this if you want some warm fuzzies and to remember what the rush of choosing love feels like.
Just so good! Six stories, that are connected some way or another, but that would stand all by themselfs. Six great Autors, i loved it
This is a book filled with the reality of love. I absolutely loved each one of these stories that these authors told. I felt so connected to some of the characters and their experiences with love. I think that this is a must read for everyone because this book is so fun and so different from anything I have ever read. It was interesting to see what people share when the lights go out. My favorite stories in this collection are The Long Walk by Tiffany D. Jackson and All The Great Love Stories...and Dust by Dhonielle Clayton
3.5⭐️
It was a fun book and the romance was soooo beautiful. I loved the fact it contained lgbtq. The reason why u won’t give the book 5 stars is because I thought some of the ‘stories’ were shorter than u expected them to be. And I got the feeling it would continue but it didn’t. For the rest, it was an easy read and I fell in love with literally all of the characters.

That's the thing about finding the right person to love. When someone loves you, all their hang-ups don't really mean much. Because loving that person is a choice you have to make love every day, even when that day isn't what you expect.
