What an absolutely phenomenal story!  Xiomara (X) was such fantastically strong character.  She's coming into her own here and being forced to deal with so much.  Her relationship with her mother was one that impacted me particularly hard, even though our mothers were nothing alike.  

This was a beautiful story, and I'm looking forward to reading more by Elizabeth Acevedo in the future!
