A collection of poems written in various forms, each narrated in a different teen voice. According to the author's note, Mora envisioned the flow of the poems as that of a symphony with four movements—an opening focus on love's initial rush, followed by a few bumps in the road, healing after loss of love, and finally the joy of finding new love. Peppered with Spanish, the selections define the love in countless ways.
I don think this book deserves a Newbery because it doesn't have a storyline.
