A review by milkyboos
The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

5.0

If I could give this 6/5 stars I would. I laughed, I cried, I loved this book. It is so honest and moving, regardless of whether or not you personally relate to Xiomara’s experiences.

I highly suggest reading while listening to the audiobook as Elizabeth Acevedo herself narrates. It is a wholly different experience than simply reading the book.

I borrowed my copy from the library, but I loved this book so much I think I’ll purchase a copy for me to reread again and again in the future.
