Impactful, eye-opening, heart felt - this story of 2 sisters who find out the other exists upon the death of their father. I stepped out of my comfort zone with this one, as poetry and novel-in-verse is not something I read often and because the author voiced one of the MCs - I opted for the audio book. It was beautiful to listen to and I'm happy to have chosen how I did.

*Would highly recommend the audiobook—both sisters are narrated by different people and the author herself is one of the narrators! And because the book is written in verse, it's beautiful to hear it read aloud.
