The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
4.0

 This book was a real treat as I rarely read any books made up completely of verse. I love free verse poetry and all of the opportunities it lends poets who want to break from a traditional poetic format.

There were so many emotional twists and turns that, even though one could probably breeze through this in a day, I felt like I read something truly profound. I remember feeling so many of these emotions as a teen and some I'm still working on. 

I think it's definitely a book everyone should try reading.
