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

5.0

We read this for On The Same Page Bookclub. This is one of my favorite YA books I have read in a long time. The characters were engaging and real. The situation, a teen mom trying to finish school and match her natural affinity for cooking with a future career as a chef struck a balance between achieving an impossible dream with gritty work and coming of age while trying to raise your own child. I highly recommend this one.
