A review by sheilareads_
The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

4.0

“I will never
let anyone
see my full heart
and destroy it.”

I loved Xiomara so much! I was laughing and crying with her. Acevedo just captures how beautiful and tragic teenage girlhood can sometimes be. I was literally moved to tears. What a brilliant story…

I know it’s YA, but the ending was just too cookie-cutter for me. Xiomara deals with a lot of things in the story… and hello what about Xavier and his future??? I want a follow-up b/c I just have too many questions!!!
