This is Elizabeth Acevedo's first book and I think it's fab. She did justice to most woman struggles and has potrayed Emoni, though young, yet with times grows to be a very strong woman.
I just completed this book today and honestly... It's a slow start but quarter way through the book I got completely pulled in. A very warm and powerful read, shows most aspects of a girl's tough times and how she gets through them all. A good read. Loved it!!!
Recommended for sure!!!!!
