Great collection of romantic short stories by 6 true superstars of YA - all Black women. There's a connecting thread woven through each story but they're all distinct and you can clearly tell who wrote each one. The audio was excellent, Dion Graham especially (of course). My favorite was Tiffany D. Jackson's because it was broken up in multiple parts between the other stories and that space really gave it room to breathe and build. Also exciting to see a lighter side from her! This will be an easy sell to teens 8th and up.
