I think that the book was a very cute young adult fiction, and I enjoyed how each character developed as they figured out how to stay safe during the blackout. Towards the end of the book, I wasn't a fan of his quickly new characters were being introduced (and how quickly new characters' plots developed). I also feel like everyone was either Jamaican with dreads or part of the LGBT+ community; and, while I do love the representation of black and queen characters, I was hoping to see more diversity within those categories. Overall, though, it was such a cute book, and I would definitely recommend that everyone read it if they want a lighthearted series of short romances!
