The story is amazing and brilliantly created and executed.  The twists in the story were well written and placed.  The style of writing and storytelling is great.  It was easy and fast to read.  The author's style made the reader feel the emotions.

I will always read anything that Elizabeth Acevedo writes, she has such a beautiful way with words. I love books that have a central theme of food, and this was it, reading this made me hungry.

What an enjoyable read! This book was so lovely. It had the perfect amount of emotion, realism, and adventure, and the writing style is beautiful. The characters were all so beautifully imperfect and lovable, and the images the author paints of them and their lives are so clear /m.
