With the Fire on High - Elizabeth Acevedo

With the Fire on High tells the story of teen mum Emoni Santiago who follows her passion to become a chef. Emoni signs up for a cooking class in school, and as part of this class, she gets to travel to Spain and work in the kitchen of a restaurant. Emoni juggles her life as a single mum with school and following her dreams as well as a new love interest.

I was unsure whether to read this book or not, as I absolutely hated Acevedo's Clap When You Land. With the Fire on High is predictable, but I enjoyed listening to the audiobook nonetheless. A minor criticism: baby girl is over used.

Read for the PopSugar 2023 Reading Challenge.
Prompt 41: A book written during NaNoWriMo.
