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

5.0

This is a story about a young girl who got pregnant her freshman year of highschool and during her senior year she is struggling between doing the "sensible" or "responsible" thing that she thinks she needs to do as a mother, and doing the thing she wants to do which is to take this fancy cooking class and seeing where that goes.

I did NOT think I would like this book at all, and although I loved it and am giving it 5 stars, I would not say this is a favorite of mine. But I was invested every step of the way. I truly cared about her and her daughter and seeing what happened. The writing was beautiful, the audiobook was amazing to listen to, and overall I just really enjoyed it!
