I love Acevedo's writing style and will continue to read everything she writes, but this was my least favorite work of hers. It was still good don't get me wrong, but it wasn't easy to follow most of the plot and character storylines. This could be because I listened to the audiobook, so keeping track of all the characters was difficult, but I love hearing her read it. I feel like listening to her perform her work allows the lyricism of her writing to really come through.
