This book just filled my heart with so much YA happiness. It’s a story of black love, black loss, black joy, and it’s all centered around a blackout in New York on a hot summer day. The cast of characters written by these amazingly talented authors are unforgettable despite being featured in short stories. They’re the characters you root for as they search for themselves during this night en route to a summer block party. I loved the connection between stories and how they led to this one event!
