I'm not a normal YA reader but this book was amazing! I loved all the characters, it was full of Puerto Rico, high school drama, the trip to Spain, all the diversity, her as a teen mom! I was wishing she could cook for me the whole book, all the food will make you hungry.
Overall, I give it 4.5!

“...you can’t control how people look at you, but you can control how far back you pull your shoulders and how high you lift your chin”
Elizabeth Acevedo has such a beautiful, lyrical voice and I love listening to her narrate. I HIGHLY recommend picking up the audio book.
I loved this book, the characters and their relationships with each other are so vibrant.

Good story and I really liked the characters but there was no real climax. I was waiting for the one big bad thing to happen and it never did. Instead it was just a lot of small things that she quickly overcame. Was a bit monotonous in that aspect.

I don't do a lot of YA but I really liked this one and could see my students liking it as well.

Elizabeth Acevedo has become one of my new favorite authors over the last year and this was my last of her backlist titles to read before I was caught up. I absolutely ate it up. Elizabeth has such a way of balancing serious topics with the joy of being young and discovering your individuality with the most beautiful prose you will ever lay eyes on.
All of the characters were so well-rounded and articulated. I felt like I was right there, walking along with them.
I can't wait for her next book.

I picked this up after having wanted to read this for a long time. So happy Libby had it ready to go—I really enjoyed the audiobook!
Emoni is a high school student and a young mother trying to juggle everything. Her love of cooking permeates into every part of her life and it is so beautiful to watch her grow.
