For this last pick of 2023, I wanted to share a powerhouse collaborative piece that is a wonderful exploration of love, forgiveness, and all the ways we come together to support each other in the small and big moments of our lives. Whiteout written by some of the YA genres favorites, Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, Nic Stone, and Nicola Yoon begs the question: what lengths do we go to for those we love?
Stuck in a snow-blanketed Atlanta, twelve different teens ban together to help a friend pull off an epic plan to win back the love of her life with an apology of a lifetime. With the snow shutting down malls, highways, and at times communications, these friends have to find ways to accomplish their separate missions, each facing their own romantic entanglements. Full of heart and humor, this story collection demonstrates the vulnerability and risk involved in telling someone how you feel, showing up as fully yourself, and asking for the one you love to take a chance on you, too.
As we end the year, what better way to celebrate all the ways bravery, forgiveness, love, friendship, and family have met us this year than to enjoy a beautiful story that involves a little winter snow magic! Wishing you all the best as we close 2023 and turn the page to a new year full of new adventures :)
Until next year, keep reading!
