Blackout: The new blockbuster YA romance fiction novel of summer 2021

Smoothing stories
Some stories are better told in the dark. Not just the scary ones where someone gets chased through the woods. Or the whodunits where a bunch of suspects are trapped in a house. But even love stories can glow when lights go out.I agree with this lines because I had many happy little things when the lights went out🥰Soo smoothing love stories that glow, when the lights go out. It's seems like a tiny weenie situations happening through the blackout between 6 different stories of black teens love which are well interconnected, but that's more to love this book. A book filled with fluffy romances, sassy friendship, LGBTQ+ and family but with a lesser black representation. Definitely, I recommend this book to all. I JUST freaking love this book with my whole heart. I just wished the blackout never to end. Haha😄.

The book is decent
If we talk about the novelThen I'd say it's a decent oneAnd on the other hand there are no compromise on the quality of the book it's good 👍😊

It's fine as usual.
This book was released on 30th June 2021,that is one two weeks ago and given that, I really don't know why there's a little dent in the edge. Checking thoroughly I saw everything was alright but yes, being a bookworm I was really disappointed at the minor condition of the new book. Except that, everything was alright - the delivery was on time,got it at a reasonable price but honestly,if getting a book delivered within 5 days means I'll get a dent, I'd rather have it delivered within 7 normal days.

I enjoyed a few of the stories
I know these are short stories but still some of the relationships in these I felt were a little rushed. The second story I absolutely loved the best ❤️

Great Diverse Read
I loved this collection of short stories by a selection of amazing authors, I was highly anticipating this book for a long time and it did not disappoint, there are a number of tropes in this book and the diversity is fantastic too! Plus I love the fact that all the stories entwined and characters from individuals stories knew each other, and the little round up in Seymour and Grace was wonderful!The Long Walk by Tiffany D Jackson⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This story features an ex to lovers trope, and this was my favourite in the collection, I loved the way this story was staggered throughout the book too, it was always a short intermission between the other stories, and I adored this one!Mask Off by Nic Stone⭐⭐⭐⭐This short story features two former friends who explore the possibility of a relationship after they begin opening up to one another. I found that this story had the most to take away from it as a lot of topics were explored from toxic masculinity, public breastfeeding, homosexuality and stereotypes surrounding this in school and sports, I really liked this story, and I found Nic Stones writing amazing again!Made To Fit by Ashley Woodfolk⭐⭐⭐So this story has the instalove trope which is one of my least favourite tropes it just feels so unbelievable, however the author has carried it well in this story, plus I love the fact it was more of a set up from the main characters grandad, I thought that was a great touch, I really liked this sorry more than I thought I would!All The Great Love Stories..and Dust by Dhonielle Clayton⭐⭐I love the fact that Dhonielle had the amazing idea to create this book and compile these stories, however this short story is my least favourite, it didn't flow as well as the others in my opinion. This story centres two friends who have grown up together admitting their feelings for one another, and it was a lovely little read, it just didn't have the flow the others did.No Sleep Till Brooklyn by Angie Thomas⭐⭐⭐This book centres a good old love triangle and it was a different kind of read from Angie Thomas, who admitted she doesn't really write love stories, but this one was pretty awesome. Plus I love the ending and the feeling of empowerment that the author is giving away in this story, it's completely different to what I was expecting but I loved it all the same!Seymour and Grace by Nicola Yoon⭐⭐⭐This story features the chance meet trope, in which Seymour and Grace happen upon in each other when Seymour is Grace's Ryde driver. I really like the conversation the two characters had and I loved the way Grace was made to question herself, another great read.On average 3.3 ⭐
