4.0

3.5⭐️I read Blackout last year and LOVED it. It’s one of my favorite YA books out there and one I recommend to all my students, so I was thrilled to see that the same team of authors were coming together for a Christmas-themed story. Just like in Blackout, this book follows different couples through a major event, this one being a big snow storm in Atlanta. I really loved the interwoven narratives, the variety of romance tropes, the sexual diversity, the Atlanta setting and the holiday spirit. However, I thought the big grand gesture this book was centered around was a little over the top for high schoolers, which prevented be from fully buying into the premise. Also, I found some of the character’s storylines to be similar, making it harder to differentiate between the full cast, especially when they were text chains.

Read if you like:
-YA romance reads
-Holiday books
-Atlanta setting
- Black and LGTBQIA+ voices
