Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo
5.0
Has Elizabeth Acevedo ever disappoint me?
Clap When You Land is my second book from Elizabeth Acevedo and to summarize everything, I would say that this is a realistic book and it is beautiful. It’s a thrilling experience to listen to the audiobook, not because it’s scary but because Elizabeth Acevedo is a great narrator and I could feel her emotion in her voice.
Where do I start? Right, Elizabeth possesses the ability to create melodious story that makes you feel certain emotions throughout the book. Her writing is lyrical and magical—I can’t never get enough of it and I feel like I want to absorb every words. Elizabeth used voice to explore the depths of how it feels to idolize someone but turns up they’re not like the person we’ve known, to lose someone important in your life, and to accept the truth no matter how ugly it is.
What I love the most about this book is the characterization of Yahaira and Camino—and the part where they discover each other. There is this kind of silent understanding that they both have to learn to life with the fact that their father is way more complex than they thought. Both girls struggle with their own grief, and it’s captured perfectly in the book.
Overall, I recommend this book a lot! And I suggest you to listen to the audiobook!
