This was great. It's the second verse novel I've read as an audiobook and it's definitely the best format for me. I really enjoyed Elizabeth Acevedo's writing and I think I would have struggled with getting the rhythm right if I'd read it physically. Acevedo narrates it herself alongside Melania-Luisa Marte and I thought they were brilliant. I often really like books with dual narratives and thought it worked really well here. I felt connected to both main characters and loved the way it dealt with complex family dynamics.
