I love everything Elizabeth Acevedo writes but this might be my favourite. I wish I’d had this book when I was a teenager. The themes of family, religion and self-discovery are handled so well. As always with Acevedo, I highly recommend the audiobook. She’s an incredible narrator and her poetry and prose are gorgeous.
