Book Review: The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

Review:

I’m not really a fan of poetry but a book friend of mine couldn’t stop raving about this story. So I borrowed a copy from my library and I ended up reading it in 4 hours. It’s been a while since I devoured a book. I felt like the author was talking to my soul. I found myself shaking my head and relating to several topics in this story. I loved Xiomara and how strong she was and everything she went through tugged at my heart. This was a well written book about finding yourself and your voice. Acevedo sucked me in from page one with her powerful words. I’m still on a high from reading this story. The way it flowed, the power it packed. The messages. The meanings. I highly recommend this book.
