With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo

5.0

I seriously just want to hug this book, and hug Ms. Acevedo for writing it. It made me think of one of my favorite books ever, "Like Water for Chocolate," and I loved it just as much.

I *loved* Emoni explaining to Malachi that she's Black on both sides and her pride in being Afro-Boricua. If this were a different novel, I would have loved for her to explain more about the history of Puerto Rico.
