This is my fourth book by Elizabeth Acevedo and my favorite so far. I listened to the audiobook read by the author. I'm not the target audience of Young Adult books. I'm an old woman. I was into poetry some as a teenager, but most of my stuff wouldn't have stood the test of time.
This book has heart, conflicts, and joys. It's about a teenage girl who begins to write poetry. She has a twin brother, immigrant parents, and a best friend, all living in Harlem. I will not give any spoilers.
I give this a hearty five stars.
