4.0

I absolutely loved this book. I would call it an anthology, buuut it wasn't quite that? Or was it? I'm not even sure what it was. Each character/duo was written by a different author, but it was told in chapters that flowed together to create a seamless piece, rather than separated into mini-stories that just happened to connect. It was super creative and well done and I really enjoyed it.

Even though I read the note at the end, I'm still clueless as to who wrote which person(s), but frankly, it doesn't matter. They were all beautifully written and I really enjoyed the story. I'm so glad that I listened to Blackout first and then read the physical copy of Whiteout because they each felt so similar and yet so different in those formats. What a neat experience.

I'm not sure I'd reach for this one again in the same way I wanted to reach for Blackout, but I did like it a lot!
