To hear both voices narrate the story of the two protagonists, who are worlds apart, yet closer than they could know, was fascinating. Each one brought out the emotion in each chapter, and with each character owning a chapter at a time, the story battled back and forth between the book, giving each one equal time and, in some cases, overlapping thoughts and words. And I do mean literally overlapping as Acevedo and Marte had stanzas in which they matched breathe and tone.
Moderate: Death of parent
Minor: Panic attacks/disorders and Stalking
