Description
When We Make It is an unforgettable debut young adult novel-in-verse that redefines what it means to "make it". Elisabet Velasquez brings energy, clarity and beauty to her story.
Sarai, a first-generation Puerto Rican teenager, navigates the complexities of family trauma, systemic pressures and toxic masculinity in a rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn. With determination and an open heart, she questions the society around her, her identity and the life she lives, learning to celebrate herself in a way that has long been denied.
This powerful love letter is for anyone who was taught they would not make it, for those who feel their emotions before they can name them, and for those who still may not have all the language but have their story. Velasquez' debut novel is sure to leave a lasting mark on readers.
