With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo

5.0

This is a sweet story about a Emoni, teen mom who loves her toddler and her grandmother and cooking. She has trust issues after the father of her baby cheats on her, she's not sure what she's going to do after high school, and she really, really wants to go to Spain with her school's culinary arts program. It's all beautifully done, and you just want to climb in the pages and eat Emoni's food. Great uplifting read. I listened to most of it on audio, read by the author, and she does a terrific job. Five stars for the audio, four stars for the book, rounding up to five overall. Really enjoyed this one.
