A review by alli_thebookgiraffe
With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo

5.0

I LOVE this book. Acevedo writes the absolute best characters. I love that she showed a girl can be a teen mom and still be successful. She showed that people can be parents and still follow their dreams. I love that the dad is not absent because that is a terrible stereotype pushed onto men. She also wrote a broken family that works. I love strong family dynamics.
I forgot to add this book used the line "I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding" 3 times. Ya authors please stop this line.
