4.0

Elizabeth Acevedo never disappoints; this was a moving multi-generational story that was also very unfiltered. I think I understand why some were disappointed or taken aback by certain aspects of the story but I personally thought it worked for the story the author is trying to tell. As always, the writing is beautiful and all the characters are fully fleshed out. Definitely a bittersweet but also satisfying read.
