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.
