4 out of 5 stars
I love how REAL this book is. I
think all readers (especially teens), no matter their ethnicity, will be able
to relate to some aspect of this book. The reader gets to know and understand
the ins and outs of Xiomara’s thoughts and feelings. With the book portraying a
poet through the use of poetry the authenticity of story is enhanced. As a
reader, one can feel that Acevedo carefully chose every word written and the
powerful meaning behind it. All readers will resonate with every beautiful
sentence. Acevedo writes about how to be a girl, a sister, a daughter and a teen in today's difficult world.
It’s an important read for everyone.
