A very beautiful, powerful story. I'm normally not one for novels in verse, but this one caught my eye and I had to try. I'm very glad I did! The sweet family dynamic was heartwarming and I loved learning more about St. Kitts. 

Sometimes it got confusing because it felt like things weren't necessary happening in chronological order. But that didn't take away from my enjoyment.

I listened to the audiobook but I am definitely planning on getting a physical copy one day. The writing was amazing and I would love to highlight some beautiful parts.
