The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

5.0

I haven’t read many books in verse, but this is the best I have ever read. The mix between basic narrative poems that just move the plot along and deeper poems that made you think was well balanced and appropriately timed. Xiomara’s voice was very unique, and her story entertained me throughout. The ending even made me tear up! This book was such a quick read because it is written in verse, I was able to finish it in about 4 hours, but it packs so much into it that it immerses you in the story and you hardly notice it is flying by.
