A beautiful and uniquely told story, (S)Kin expertly explores topics such as sisterhood, complex family dynamics, class, identity, colourism, self value and immigration. 

I absolutely adored the way Ibi Zoboi told Marisol's and Genevieve's story. I thought the way their narrations intertwined and paralleled towards the end was especially poignant. The was a story I found incredibly difficult to pull myself away from and ended up spending an evening finising it from start to finish. 

There were moments I found a little confusing and I wasn't a huge fan of the way the story closed, hence not giving it the full five stars but this has undoubtedly become one of my favourite novels in verse and I've already caught myself talking about it to anyone who will listen. Overall, (S)Kin was a powerful, thought provoking, emotional and quietly magical read and one I'd happily both recommend and reread.
