About this listen
"[Narrator Frankie] Corzo fluidly shifts from English to Spanish and back in this atmospheric audiobook, adopting a leisurely pace that allows listeners to savor the setting, poetic language, and slow-burn romance. Corzo creates distinct voices for a variety of casually queer Latinx characters. This meditative listen shouldn't be missed." (AudioFile magazine)
From award-winning author Mark Oshiro comes a powerful coming-of-age fantasy novel about finding home and falling in love amidst the dangers of a desert where stories come to life
Xochitl is destined to wander the desert alone, speaking her troubled village's stories into its arid winds. Her only companions are the blessed stars above and enigmatic lines of poetry magically strewn across dusty dunes.
Her one desire: to share her heart with a kindred spirit.
One night, Xo's wish is granted - in the form of Emilia, the cold and beautiful daughter of the town's murderous conqueror. But when the two set out on a magical journey across the desert, they find their hearts could be a match... if only they can survive the nightmare-like terrors that arise when the sun goes down.
Fresh off of Anger Is a Gift's smashing success, Oshiro branches out into a fantastical direction with their new YA novel, Each of Us a Desert.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Teen
"The almost lyrical narration by Frankie Corzo matches perfectly with the epic feeling of this story." (School Library Journal)

I really wanted to love this book…
But honestly it was just okay. The performance was fantastic, the narrator changed seamlessly from English to Spanish. The story itself is where I struggled. The plot was intriguing. Most of the characters were captivating. But the protagonist spent the entire story feeling sorry for herself. It gave strong “nobody understands me, I’m not like other girls” vibes, and even when she discovered a likeminded person, she couldn’t get over herself. Honestly, the main character was my least favourite thing about the story. If not for her, I think I would have loved it.
