Talk about POWERFUL. I often find myself unable to enjoy young adult books fully because it's been so long since I was, well, 15. However, Xiomara didn't need to be relatable for me to be drawn to her story. The poetry was beautiful and imaginative, along with important. I noticed somewhere halfway through listening to the audiobook (do yourself a favor and listen to this - it's narrated by Acevedo, herself) that I was tearing up. X works through her emotions by writing them down in haikus and poems of all kinds. They were truly incredible. The end of the book is filled with explanations of different poems throughout the book, and it really stretched my mind. I have always been drawn to poetry, so it was really cool to learn more about how these could be read. Do yourself a favor and read this as soon as possible.
