Let me start with the cover of this book, it is just gorgeous, the Brooklyn Bridge in the night sky. This is an anthology that follows 6 love stories while the “couple’s” navigate NYC in the middle of a heatwave induced blackout. There’s old relationships, new relationships, each of their stories crisscrossing each other. These stories are sweet, sad, funny and really just fun. The summer book you definitely needed.
Moderate: Homophobia and Bullying
