My heart! If you love big love stories and romcoms, this is for you. Even better, it's big love stories for black and queer characters. It all takes place in one night in New York City when a blackout occurs. Each chapter focuses on a different character's experience, and their experiences overlap in some  way. They're all experiencing the same situation, but have different stuff going on in their lives. Reminded me of some romcom movies that have done this. 

I picked this up because I'm forever an Angie Thomas fan. But because this book is a collaboration from multiple authors, I now have some great new authors to follow.
