4.0

This book is based in the true story of a 2001 plane crash en route to the Dominican Republic. It imagines the effects the death of one such passenger had on two families in the US and the DR. I loved how it was written sort of like a poem - I started reading the e-book on my phone and that was a mistake, as the placement of the words is visually important. I'd love to read more from Acevedo!
