Sarai uses verse to navigate the strain of family traumas and the systemic pressures of toxic masculinity and housing insecurity in a rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn, questioning the society around her, her Boricua identity, and the life she lives.

This book was such a punch in the gut. Not in a bad way, I promise. I had never felt more seen or felt like I belong in the pages of a book until this one. As a New Yorker who no longer lives there, this book felt like home...all the good and bad parts of it. I have read and loved many books in my lifetime...but this one will forever hold a special place.
