One of the best books I've read in my entire life.
The story was refreshing, seeing it from the eyes of a 15-year-old was interesting, and everything felt close to home.
I'm sure I will find myself coming back to some of the poems in the books, the one that helped me put thoughts into words. Thank you Elizabeth Acevedo for making me feel us teenagers heard and for opening my eyes to a different culture.
