Atlanta is blanketed with snow just before Christmas, but the warmth of young love just might melt the ice in this novel of Black joy, and cozy, sparkling romance--by the same unbeatable team of authors who wrote the New York Times bestseller Blackout!
As the city grinds to a halt, twelve teens band together to help a friend pull off the most epic apology of her life. But will they be able to make it happen, in spite of the storm?
No one is prepared for this whiteout. But then, we can't always prepare for the magical moments that change everything.
From the bestselling, award-winning, all-star authors who brought us Blackout--Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon--comes another novel of Black teen love, each relationship within as unique and sparkling as Southern snowflakes.
My Review:
Oh, this was a lot of fun to read! I recently read Blackout by these authors, and I was really excited to read this one, to see if it was told in a different way from other anthologies, and it was, with the various teens narrating different chapters, in one cohesive, connected story! With an added twist that the authors of each story aren't outright stated, but given hints as to who wrote what!
The same concept that made Blackout great, with these characters, with some sort of shut down, slowly coming together, with great representation and diversity, it's all present in this book, this time with a whiteout snowstorm. I really enjoyed watching these characters stories play out!
The overarching story that was supported by the others, was of Stevie and Sola. Stevie messed up and needs to make an apology to Sola, but there's this big storm that shuts down the city pretty much. But she has a great group of friends to help her!
This book is more connected then Blackout, since they are all friends. I really enjoyed how one flowed to the next, with this group of characters, and the romances and the adventures they're having to help Stevie, it was so entertaining to read!
Loved reading this book, and if they put out any other anthologies like this one, I'll read it!
