This book is written entirely in verse and having never read a book like it I was quite apprehensive. I needn't have been. Elizabeth Acevedo beautifully balances the prose with a compelling and driving narrative. The structure
The book centres around two sisters, each distinct in their personalities which I found really shone through their respective verses. They have lost their father and we follow them through their grief which is handled magnificently and I completely related to their pain.
My favourite line from the book comes early on, "You do not let words stunt unknown possibilities". It really struck a chord with me.
An excellent and moving book, I'm eager to read from this author again.
