This book is amazing. If anything, it has too much going on. At times, I felt like it dragged on, but how could it not? So many moments in hundreds of pages. So much poetry. It's work of art. Read it quickly to feel the rhythm of each scene, or savor the beauty of each stanza slowly, revisit. Brava. I wish I'd been able to read it when I was a teen. ...more
Amazing! Acevedo’s talent is astounding! This novel-in-prose is lyrical, raw, and immersive. The lives of these two sisters are changed irrevocably in one moment and their exploration of love, loss, and grief is something I’ll think about for a long time. #hispanicheritagemonth
