By Dhonielle Clayton & Tiffany D. Jackson &
Blackout by Dhonielle Clayton & Tiffany D. Jackson &  digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Six critically acclaimed, bestselling, and award-winning authors bring the glowing warmth and electricity of Black teens in love to this charming, hilarious, and heartwarming novel that shines a bright light through the dark.

A summer heatwave blankets New York City in darkness. But as the city is thrown into confusion, a different kind of electricity sparks…

A first meeting. 

Long-time friends. 

Bitter exes. 

And maybe the beginning of something new.

When the lights go out, people reveal hidden truths. Love blossoms, friendship transforms, and new possibilities take flight.

Beloved authors—Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon—celebrate the beauty of six couples and the unforgettable magic that can be found on a sweltering starry night in the city.

Blackout Reviews

3.5
“I giggled a lot reading this I won’t lie. Initially I wasn’t all in on the book, but Nic Stone’s chapter came in and I was sat. I will absolutely be reading from these amazing authors again it was just so sweet. I love love. Also, in the acknowledgments this quote made me tear up: “First, I’d like to thank my niece, Riley Clayton, who inspired the entire idea. If it weren’t for our marathon movie watching/TV binging, and you asking me why Black girls didn’t get big love stories, this book wouldn’t exist.” Us Black girls deserve big love stories, no ifs, ands, or buts about it! 🥹🫶🏽”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“I love love love this book. It introduced us to amazing black love. Started my whole black love book journey. Some of the stories either piss me off or we’re boring no offense. How dare you have my name and make a decision I would never make. And the interconnected relationships”
