Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo
5.0
Clap When You Land is quite easily Elizabeth Acevedo’s next triumph since The Poet X. This is Elizabeth Acevedo in her element. Poetry is her power. Her metaphors just melt in your mouth.
In Clap When You Land, we meet two teenage half sisters, brought together by a tragic familial loss. The narration alternates between Camino and Yahaira as they each discover secrets, family, and themselves.
It’s a quick read - each page is only a few stanzas - but each stanza drips with emotion: grief, envy, joy, sorrow, embarrassment, acceptance...I felt everything!
100% would recommend.
