Apparently I didn't have a clue what verse meant and as it so happens, I like it! This book was absolutely fantastic! Honestly, if you're on the fence, jump over the fence and read it!

ELIZABETH ACEVEDO STRIKES AGAIN!

I will say that, out of her three books, this description was my least favorite. BOY WAS I WRONG. This story was phenomenal!!

I loved how this novel was told from two perspectives, and believe that it made the novel so much stronger. We got to witness the girls' reactions to their Papi's death (and his secrets) first-hand and the contrast Elizabeth Acevedo created in both the girls' personalities, locations, and lifestyles was very intriguing! This novel definitely touched on some difficult topics such as death, grief and sexual assault, but it was done in a very respectable way.

I LOVED all of the characters - especially our main characters Camino and Yahaira. I enjoyed reading from both of their perspectives equally (which is interesting because usually that is not the case for me!) and I connected to both of them in different ways. Their resiliency throughout the novel was heartwarming and getting to see their relationship develop over the course of the novel was incredible and brought tears to my eyes. I just love the way that Elizabeth Acevedo writes about intricate family dynamics.

Much like The Poet X, I really enjoyed how this novel was written in verse, and also like The Poet X I thought the audiobook was FLAWLESS. Overall, I thought this story was heartbreaking, raw and beautiful; I would recommend this to anyone who loves found family, novels written in verse or those who just adore Elizabeth Acevedo's work as much as I do!
