destdest 's review for:

Whiteout by Angie Thomas, Dhonielle Clayton, Ashley Woodfolk, Nic Stone, Nicola Yoon, Tiffany D. Jackson
2.0
lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Writing in the voice of a teen can be super difficult, but some of the dialogue here was seriously cheesy. But these authors have written teen characters before that sounded/felt more natural.
 
Despite that, good inclusion of diversity, love, and different cultures. I found Stevie to be really annoying and pretentious, but the grand gesture at the end is seriously sweet. I don’t think I cared for any of the couples here unlike <i>Blackout</i> though it was nice that most of the misunderstandings/miscommunications were lighthearted.
