Book of the week: Blackout

With six different powerhouse authors (including Dear Martin‘s Nic Stone and The Hate U Give‘s Angie Thomas), the book Blackout tells the stories of different characters’ experiences during a citywide power outage in New York City. This power outage causes a lot of both tension and romance. Settings range from an assisted living facility to a library break-in, these subtly intertwining stories contain loads of drama, humor, and even a sprinkle of romance. With emotional highs and lows reflective of the full human experience, this book is a great read for everyone.
