Holy shit this book is absolutely beyond beautiful
I listened to it and read it at the same time which made the experience so much more amazing and I’m so glad I did it that way
I feel like I’ll be thinking about this book for the foreseeable future cause holy shit
And it’s so so clear that the narrator for the audiobook is ver familiar with the culture and the story and everything so it makes a lot of sense that it seems to be Elizabeth Acavedo narrating it which adds so much - just amazing overall
