Apart from that, it is a powerful story which explores difficult topics (like grief, identity, betrayal,...) in an accessible and nuanced way. Overall, it was a really touching story.

“Clap When You Land” follows to sisters after their father died unexpectedly in a plane crash. The twist…neither knows the other exists. One grows up in the Dominican Republic, the other in New York. The only thing that ties them together is this secret and their grief.
I loved so many things about this book. The novel in verse was such a beautiful thing to read, and it was obvious that Acevedo is in her elements. Even if novel is writing centered, the character development and relationships formed are truly moving. “Clap When You Land” sheds light on the people which help us heal.
