If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would.
I knew immediately upon starting reading it that it would destroy me emotionally and I was right. I am destroyed but I didn't know how beautiful the journey to that destruction would be. Everything about the book is so well crafted: the Elizabeth Bishop poem, the music, and Misbah's chapters and that they are written by Sal! . I found that the drug plot was so well done with the way it was introduced and then kept showing up like Chekov's gun. It just worked!
If this doesn't win the Printz I'll be so incredibly sad!!
