Gorgeous story written like poetry, that that alone was stunning. It made falling back in love with poetry easy,my heart is already yearning for more verses. Heart wrenching in places. I loved this book. The characters -Xiomara,Xavier, Caridad, Aman, Mami & Papi are rich, beautifully written, deep and their relationships complicated, sticky and relatable. The Poet X is going to stick with me for a long time.
