This was everything I wanted and didn't know that I needed. More people need to be making noise about this wonderful little collection of stories.

I am in love with this book. It is such a cozy and fun read. Very fast paced since it all takes place during one night. I love to imagine the setting of NYC during a complete blackout, and what can happen to different people during that time-span. I absolutely adore the way all the different storylines intersected with each other and how every character had some sort of connection with at least one of the other ones. All the stories felt individual and original, yet they were so well combined and complemented each other very well. My only real complaint is the very abrupt ending, but at the same time I get it. It is quite the abrupt situation, being cut off by a blackout, therefore it makes sense for the story to end the same way, when the lights turn on. This is a must-read-YA for sure, so don't sleep on it!!
