"And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark."

This book was absolutely phenomenal, and I will read anything and everything that Elizabeth Acevedo writes! The heart and soul of this is palpable, especially if you listen to it on audio book (which I highly recommend because it's narrated by Acevedo herself!!!) 

An absolutely stunning debut. I only wish I'd read it sooner!
