Great Summer Anthology!
I enjoyed almost all of these stories, I just wish they were in a different order, if that makes sense. I liked that they all were heading to one location and that was the "thread" for the anthology but I wanted them to either actually run into each other or some sort of closing story that brought it together. Especially since we had a "running" narrative/story between each contained story. But I really did enjoy each of the stories and think it was a great summer read!

Love is everywhere
I really enjoyed the different stories throughout and the way another story played out between them, until they all came together in the end.

We need more simple Black love stories <3
A lot of other reviewers gave this book 3-4 stars, and personally? I just can't understand it. People rave about mediocre love stories all the time, but suddenly want to be critical because the main characters are Black? BYE.
Anyway, this book did what it set out to do. A series of love stories between Black teens, interwoven through a few degrees of separation and set during blackout in New York City. It gave everything its white counterparts gave, but with a hell of a lot more representation! Can we talk about that please?! Everyone in this story is just so open-minded. Queerness is commonplace and talked about regularly. As a queer Black person myself, it made me so happy I did a little dance x)
The way these stories were written brought life to the page, and the characters and descriptions were so vivid I could imagine entire scenarios in my head. The fact that New York City was the background, and the blackout as a plot device were great decisions that I think would translate well on screen. If someone decides to make this a movie, I'll be one of the first people in line to see it. I would go into detail on each individual story, but I'll save that for my blog ;)
Overall, I really enjoyed the stories as standalone, and within the context of this anthology. The authors are all amazing Black women. We need more simple, cute Black love stories! Representation matters. The narrators did a fantastic job and brought life to the characters they voiced. I'll recommend this book to everyone I know in real life.
I'm happy this book exists and will definitely be buying a hard copy!
