Reviews

A romance that doesn't fit the usual mold and a class trip to Spain round out this flavorful tale...Sabroso.

-- "Kirkus Reviews"

Stunning...With evocative, rhythmic prose and realistically rendered relationships and tensions, Acevedo's unvarnished depiction of young adulthood is at once universal and intensely specific.

-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

Acevedo has done it again: the multi-award-winning author of The Poet X here delivers perfection...Acevedo compassionately challenges her readers with a wide variety of topics, including cultural and personal identity and the needs and desires of older women, something that is so often forgotten...This sophomore novel is simply stunning.
