Acevedo does it again! She pours her heart into everything she writes. I'm so glad that I read this book with my Project LIT students. This book gave them a space to discuss so many things. I'm glad she gave equal voice to both her main characters. Often in books, we long to hear the voice of other characters but this book we get the soul and feelings of the characters. Just read it and you will see how amazing her writing is and how she develops characters. Excellent read!
Well Written
I was not sure how I would feel about this book at first, with all the hype I heard about it, but I was pleasantly surprised. The story is written in poetry that touched my heart. In some parts I wished the story would have more to it, but enjoyed the story being told.

A phenomenal book from start to finish! Elizabeth Acevedo is such an amazing writer and it was difficult to put this book down. Such an amazing story about loss, love, secrets, and the importance of family. Highly recommend for anyone and everyone!!
So beautiful! I'm not a big audiobook fan, but I'm happy I listened to this one instead of picking up a physical copy. The lyrical and poetic language deserves to be heard. This is a sister story I won't soon forget.
