In The Poet X, who was Xiomara's best friend?

Accepted Answer

The Poet X is a 2018 fictional young adult novel written by Dominican-American writer Elizabeth Acevedo. The book is actually written in verse and resembles a collection of short poems in which the author describes the everyday experiences of Xiomara Batista, a.k.a "X"—a 15-year-old girl who lives in Harlem. Through Xiomara we meet many other characters who are very important to her, such as her genius twin brother Xavier (or "Twin"); her childhood best friend, Caridad; and her crush, and later on boyfriend, Aman.
Xiomara and Caridad have a very interesting and dynamic friendship. Even though their personalities seem to be different, they still endlessly support each other and care deeply for one another. The readers can easily understand that Xiomara and Caridad's friendship is based on the principles of love and loyalty.
