I love this book. Anthology series whether it is a book, movie, or series has a special place in my heart. This book has everything: representation, drama, growth, love (LOTS of it), diversity of bipoc (black, jamaican, puerto rican, hatian), queer (gay, lesbian, etc), cultural representation is food, music, people, such interesting characters that remind me of me and so many others in my life. Different from the stereotypes and assumptions made about black people diving more into who we are. Our passion for music, literature, expression, becoming our own, bonding with the ones we love, and changes in our lives. Young adult novels just connect to my deepest spirit. I was lucky enough to attend the Whiteout book tour (my first ever book tour) I was disappointed it only lasted an hour and a half due to flight conflicts. Hoping to get both books soon. Sharing with everyone I can who loves books to check this one out. All the couples reminded me of me and what I would like for myself.
