The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
4.0
Never been a huge fan poetry because I've always thought before that my brain can't process the hidden meaning behind each word, but Poet X managed to capture my attention and my heart by its captivating prose that were both easy to digest and full of color.
The themes such as identity crisis, family dynamics, objectification of women, and rigid beliefs of one's religion were incorporated throughout the book with care. These sensitive topics were weighed properly in a way that both helped the main character, Xiomara, realize who she really was and what she should do with her life.
Brilliant. Poignant. Exquisite.
Hands down, wig snatched!
