sooo good omg, like it made me so happy to read. it’s good for when you want a book that doesn’t take too much brain power to enjoy, but also requires a little reflection to fully and truly understand. i loved all the different tropes that were used in the series of stories and enjoyed how all the characters were somehow intertwined with one another. it definitely had some moments that were so good i could scream! overall, amazing read and super satisfying to read.

An incredible concept. A beautiful read. Thank you to Dhonielle Clayton for bringing together Team Blackout Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon to write beautiful love stories. I couldn’t put it down & I didn’t want it to end. It was lovely to read love stories that normalize Black and queer relationships of all types. Love is love and this book shows that love can come to us in many forms, which is truly the beauty of it all.

Blackout had everything I look for in a book:

1) A ton of my favorite authors (and audiobook narrators) and their incredible writing!

2) A creative plot - or... multiple plots that all merge together, I suppose.

3) Phenomenal representation (cultures, sexual orientations, etc) and seriously strong characters.

4) PURE JOY.

Let me touch on that last part: there was joy exuding through every story throughout this novel. I felt myself smiling almost the entire way through. Sure, not everything was "easy" or "perfect" but each separate story had a HEA and an underlying joyful feeling.

I listened to the entire audiobook in one afternoon and didn't want it to end. This is definitely a book I'm going to pick up over and over again. It was absolutely excellent!
