This book is told in verse about two sisters coming together after the death of their father and finding out about the lies their dad have been keeping from them. This was so beautiful and the poems really hit you in the gut with so many emotions.

Listening to the audiobook is like listening to spoken word poetry. Beautiful story!
Elizabeth Acevedo is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Her writing is poetic and descriptive in a way that truly brings me into the stories she tells. I loved this story.
this is the first book i remember finishing in one sitting. i cried so much, i felt so much, i grieved with those two outstandingly normal girls and for myself and my janus faced father. i tried to learn about their culture and their differences and to learn about the difficulties they face to not take my priviledge for granted, but i know i am pretentious even in trying to do so. i loved all these strong yet weak women in this book, the hippies and healers and beauticians and doctors that stood up for each other and faced the world. i loved the ending. i loved the depiction of this strange, flawed father and how he was so deeply human in everything these girls told me about him. i am devastated but also happy. i should read about grief more often.
I’ve never felt so deeply connected to a book than I do with this one. There were so many similarities to my actual life that, at times, I had to stop and breathe through my tears. I loved reading this and it’s an easy 5 stars from me
