I listened to the audiobook and AHHHHHHHH!!!! It was incredible! I would highly recommend listening to the audiobook while reading this or even instead of reading the physical copy.
This story is honestly so heartbreaking, but it really gives people like me, who hardly know anything about Latin America and Latin American culture and the beauty and horror of some peoples lives.

The sister bond in this is so realistic that it's beautiful, and the whole dynamic between these two families was so beautiful.

Elizabeth Acevedo is probably one of my favourite authors now.

i loved this book so much. it is so beautiful and heartbreaking and raw. i thought the fact that it's written in verse would be confusing but it flows very naturally and is super easy to understand. it may seem a little long at almost 450 pages but it goes by so fast you'll wish it was longer. also, i think i was just really due to read a book with a happy ending instead of my usual forever-brainrot books because it made me feel so warm. i love found family.
