The Poet X
by Elizabeth Acevedo
I’ve only recently discovered books in verse, and every one I’ve read so far (including this one), I’ve loved! There’s something about being able to tell a whole story in less words, so beautifully, and not missing anything out. This one in particular was incredible. The emotions behind each verse, the heartbreak, the language, it was all so powerful and beautiful. And I loved listening to this one as an audiobook, it was beautiful, and the fact that the author narrated it herself, even better!
Xiomara was such a fab protagonist, I loved that she just wanted to be herself, and she did that. She’s such a strong, empowering person, I loved her! My heart went out to her at points, like I actually had to pause listening because I needed to process what was happening, and of course, my eyes welled up at one point.
I would definitely recommend this one, five stars from me!
