This is a follow up to the brilliant 'Blackout' by the same authors, it isn't however a sequel but is still an interwoven narrative told through the eyes of black teens. Last time we followed a group of characters caught in a blackout in New York city, this time we follow a separate group of people during an Atlanta snowstorm. While this book is definitely a very sweet, romantic and cozy read, it just didn't have the same impact or depth as its predecessor. It felt like a lot of the budding relationships in here were very copy and paste, friends to lovers where there had been some sort of miscommunication halting them prior. Everything also felt too contrived, there was no conflict, nobody failing in their romantic pursuit or a couple at the other end of the spectrum ending a relationship etc.
