Beautiful. I loved the audiobook, as I did with The Poet X - Elizabeth Acevedo’s  reading of her own words is just so exquisite, vivid and just full of so much inflection and color. I didn’t love the other narrator in this quite as much as Acevedo herself, but I did really love that there were two voices to highlight and differently shape the two POVs here. Anyway - the writing itself is so incredibly beautiful, with such complexity and layering; and what an amazing thing to read a fictionalized version of this huge tragic event that so many of us don’t know about. As with The Poet X, I love the detailing and care that Acevedo gives to the very specific voice and perspective of teenage girls - just really rare and special.

Beautifully written, heartbreaking story about the aftermath of a father's long-standing deception of his two daughters coming out. Acevedo's prose is so impactful. I loved hearing from both girl's perspective in their very different homes.
