ACEVEDO, ELIZABETH
'Tackles family secrets, toxic masculinity, and socio-economic differences with incisive clarity and candor... Every line is laced with betrayal and longing as the teens struggle with loving someone despite his imperfections. A standing ovation.' Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
'Returning to verse, Acevedo subtly, skillfully uses language and rhythm to give voice to the sisters grief, anger, and uncertainty; Caminos introspective openness; and Yahairas tendency toward order and leadership. Raw and emotional, Acevedos exploration of loss packs an effective double punch, unraveling the aftermath of losing a parent alongside the realities of familial inheritance.' Publishers Weekly (starred review)
