Such a cute YA love story set during a rare Atlanta blizzard. I love the way these authors collaborate with one another to tell the stories of these teenagers. This book is heartwarming and happy — and makes you believe in love.

“You’re in love. Loving a person affects every facet of your life. It changes everything, Stevie.”
This was very cute. I loved Stevie and Sola and was rooting for them the whole time. I loved getting a glimpse into each character’s life. I think my favorite story was Jimi’s. This is one of those books that just makes you love love.

I loved how this story was pieced together. It was so fun to read about a group of interconnected teens and see how all of their individual stories connected to the larger story. I found the small, shared details to be really clever and fun. Another fun aspect was trying to piece together which author wrote which characters. Plus, I read the majority of this on the night of my own Southern town's large snow/ice storm, which made for the perfect reading atmosphere and mood.

I read this while stuck inside during a blizzard the day before Christmas, so this book was practically designed for my situation. That said, it was really cute.
I would rate each love story separately, because some felt much more developed than others. This made a few of the stories feel pretty boring and dragged at times. A few of them also felt like they wrapped up a little too nicely. Despite this, the adorableness of the other relationships overcame the problems of the other stories.
Overall, this is a great YA romance to read while inside surrounded by a White Christmas.
Thank you to NetGalley, Quill Tree Books, and the group of authors for providing me access to this book.

A quick read, but I really enjoyed how all of the stories connected in this. It really focuses on relationships and friendships, and how people can come back together. It will be a great read to have for the Christmas season, even though it's not 100% about Christmas. It's still featured throughout!
I listened to the audio for this one, and what I liked is that you don't necessarily know which author is writing what until the afterward at the end. If you know teen books and the author contributors, the clues are a fun way to figure out who writes what aspects of the book.
If you liked Blackout and you enjoy interconnected stories, you'll definitely love this collection.

So good! Perfect for fans of Blackout and Let It Snow — I liked it even better than those — and interconnected stories that work together to tell a story of friendship and holiday love.
