With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo

5.0

Excellent YA - I felt so deeply for all the characters and just want the very best for them. I loved the way the author wrote Emoni’s character and her journey - we get to see her learning and growing, making mistakes, but not in a whiny teen YA way. She has a lot on her plate and has had to grow up fast and we see that in this teen mom. Just loved it.

And if all teen boys were like Malachi, we’d all sleep a little more soundly for the teen girls in our lives.
