A review by lastingliterature
(S)Kin by Ibi Zoboi

2.0

I really enjoy Zoboi's books, so I was very excited to request this one on NetGalley. Some of my favorite books are in verse; Punching the Air was a lit circle option in my poetry class for a couple of years. However, S(Kin) just did not work for me. While there is undoubtedly beautiful writing, the story felt so clunky. I never found myself wanting to open this up or read one more chapter. I do think reading on a Kindle took away some of the flow, as well -- depending on your settings with size/font, the line format would get confusing. I am sure there are many readers who will fall in love with this, but it's a pass for me.

Thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for this arc.
