With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
4.0
I don’t normally read YA fiction, but I’ve heard such great things about With the Fire On High and decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint!!
This was a lighter read, and I flew through it in a few days. I loved the short chapters and recipes included throughout! Also, I loved how many strong female characters were included in this book!
Emoni was a fantastic main character; I loved following her journey. I especially enjoyed reading her experiences and thoughts about motherhood. The relationship between Emoni and Emma was portrayed so beautifully. As a mom, I’ve felt those same emotions—missing your child when they’re not around, always worrying about them, being so happy just snuggling with them, and doing everything you can to give them a better life. ♥️
Overall, I think this is a great, feel-good book and definitely recommend it!
