I haven't read very many novels in verse compared to novels in prose, but I've really enjoyed them. Recently, I liked I Am Kavi by Thushanthi Ponweera. It managed to make me feel nostalgic for the '90s while also transporting me to a place I know very little about. And you're right—the heart issues took center stage.

I'm very excited to read Mari, too! I live in a small town where people have very big families with lotsa kids, and I know that Mari will appeal, so I'm looking forward to recommending it also. 😊
