Summary

The irresistible blockbuster YA romance of summer 2021 by six of the biggest voices in YA, as featured on ITV News. 

Soon to be a major film and TV franchise for Netflix and produced by Barack and Michelle Obama! 

Perfect for fans of Jenny Han, Netflix's Let it Snow and Bolu Babalola's Love in Colour 

When a heatwave plunges New York City into darkness, sparks fly for 13 teenagers caught up in the blackout.

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.

Six of today’s biggest stars of the YA world, Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon, bring all the electricity of love to a collection of charming, hilarious and heartbreaking tales that shine the brightest light through the dark.
