My Review:
This is going to be short, I am just trying to catch up!
I read this book in the summer. And clearly, I am posting this review in the fall. I am sorry. I have been doing a whole lot of reading and not a lot of blogging. Blame it on the various ways I am able to read books these days. Audiobooks have made it so I can literally read without my eyes open.
That is how I read this glorious book.
Let me tell you, I love these short story books by multiple authors. This is similar to the winter My True Love Gave to Me book. Except it is even better.
It is about black teens of all different sexualities in New York City. It has representation and New York City. What more can I ask for?
I don’t have a lot to say about this book other than it is really good. I think that everyone should read it. If you like romance and short stories that you definitely should read this book.
As always, thanks for reading,
A Bookie
