- Emoni is such a loving and caring mom. Even while juggling high school, friendships, cooking, teen drama, and everything else life throws at her. Her growth is incredible to be a part of.
- Malachi! The sweetest love interest. Malachi is so thoughtful and cute. He respects Emoni’s boundaries and situations with her daughter. The romance between them is honest and genuine. Malachi and Emoni on the trip to Spain is 🔥🥰💋💕
- Emoni’s passion for cooking is amazing. The descriptions of the food and how she cooks is magical. I want to try all of the dishes and recipes in the book. Cooking is not a common hobby in books and it’s cool to see it highlighted in this story. The descriptions of the food and how she cooks is magical. I love how proud Emoni’s of her culture and background!
- Elizabeth Acevedo’s writing is so poetic and lyrical. She gives Emoni such a powerful and compelling voice.
- My life and Emoni’s are so different. However, I still feel like I can relate and connect to her character. I love books like that.
- The setting of the Philadelphia city life was new and fun for me to read. Especially the slang words and pride the characters have for Philly.

4.5
Ho adorato particolarmente l'integrazione organica del background culturale della protagonista e i suoi interessi all'interno dell'arco narrativo, e l'interesse amoroso che si dimostra sempre dolcissimo, diverte da leggere e che non sminuisce mai la protagonista o il fatto che sia una ragazza madre.
Inoltre, questo libro esplora argomenti più delicati, come la relazione problematica di lei con suo padre, le difficoltà economiche, il razzismo o la sua gravidanza in giovane età, riuscendo a mantenere un buon equilibrio tra la trattare bene queste tematiche, senza mai però far diventare questa lettura pesante.
Devo dire che ho molto gradito quest'ultima cosa, perché rende la storia ricca di speranza per un futuro migliore per la protagonista, cosa che secondo me merita.
