With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
4.0
With the Fire on High is a story about a teenage mom in her senior year of high school, doing the best she can juggling everything from work, school, planning her future of becoming a successful chef, while being a mother all at the same time.
I really enjoyed this heartwarming read. The author did such a wonderful job of showing us what it means to be a young single parent. I loved Emoni’s character and just how strong and passionate she is in life. I was really rooting for her and wanted everything to go well for her.
Following Emoni’s story and seeing her grow and make all those tough decisions was just one part of this book. I also liked the family relationships here, the romance between the characters, showing the importance of culture and of course all the food talk plus the recipes in here got me so hungry while reading this.
