Hope Nation: YA Authors Share Personal Moments of Inspiration by Angie Thomas, Jason Reynolds

3.0

I enjoyed most of the stories, though surprisingly, I didn't connect with the work as a whole as much as I thought I would. Maybe it just wasn't the time for me to read this, or maybe reading anthologies takes more time to get used to because of the sudden changes in style and voice. Also... Libba Bray's story included graphic descriptions of a horrible car accident she went through and it made me feel physically ill to the point that I had to set the book down for a few minutes... So, trigger warning? I guess?

I did get to go to a launch event on February 28 with Julie Murphy, Angie Thomas, Ally Carter, and Rose Brock - and that was AWESOME.
