Oh my god, this book was so good. I’ve realized recently how much I really love a good coming of age story (might be my favorite type of story, honestly), and this is an amazing one. I’m not a poet, but I’m a writer and this made me feel things.

This book is absolute perfection. The audiobook is impeccable. I don’t live in New York. I’m a white middle class young woman from the Appalachian mountains. But there was something so relatable in the way x related with Christianity and the way she experiences her first love. Her relationship with her mother. It all spoke to the 16 year old girl in me who was grappling with love and sex and who she was all while surrounded by a family that was pious and knowing she was different. The writing is beautiful. The story is heartwarming and heartbreaking. I laughed, I cried, I felt angry for X. If I could make it everyone read this book I would.

Gorgeous story written like poetry, that that alone was stunning. It made falling back in love with poetry easy,my heart is already yearning for more verses. Heart wrenching in places. I loved this book. The characters -Xiomara,Xavier, Caridad, Aman, Mami & Papi are rich, beautifully written, deep and their relationships complicated, sticky and relatable. The Poet X is going to stick with me for a long time.
