I've been so excited for this cozy and it didn't disappoint! Cozies by or about people of color are incredibly rare, so this is a very welcome addition to the genre. I wish it had been a *tad* shorter, but Win, her family, and their charming ice cream shop are going to bring me back.

Poet X | Elizabeth Acevedo

#HelloKitty loves puzzles, especially when the 🧩 features a 🐈!

Loved, loved, loved this #audiobook told in verse. Like Xiomara, my teen years were also heavily religious and because of that I clashed with my mother. A lot. It‘s now just a taboo topic whenever we talk to my family.

I really hope Acevedo continues to write fiction in verse, because this was captivating and powerful from start to finish!
