Spoiler Free Review of
With the Fireon High by Elizabeth Acevedo
I’m a cook by trade, so I immediately connected with our main character Emoni in that aspect of her life. Cooking can feed your soul as well as your belly. I loved the recipes the author added within the story and have plans to try of few myself. Not everyone can understand how much food can be a part of who were are and who are families are, learning this part of the Peurto Rician culture was a great addition to the story. I thought the point that no matter how good you are at something, there’s always something to learn was incredibly valid these days and more people need to remember it going forward.
Emoni is also a mom, an incredibly young teenage mom, in the book you learn she had the baby when she was only 14. Here in the story she’s 17 and her baby girl Emma is 3, I appreciate the author for telling the other side of the pregnancy a little bit. So often in YA these days it’s the “Oops” moment. Where the 16 year old girl discovered she’s pregnant and the resulting chaos. Being a mom is one of the hardest jobs in the world when you’re an adult, never mind when you’re just a kid yourself. I hope someone out there takes a lesson from a few of the realities Elizabeth brings out during the story.
Favourite Quotes
“The world is a turntable that never stops spinning; as humans we merely choose the tracks we want to sit out and the ones that inspire us to dance.”
“Doesnt she know I still need her? That I still wish someone would look at the pieces of my life and tell me how to make sure they all fit back together?”
There’s was another one, but my little sticky came loose and I lost it. It had to do with the first time she had sex, and with it being more about being chosen then it was about wanting. Damn. I wish I could find it. I flipped through the whole book again and had no luck. Hopefully you’ll read this book, find the quote and know which one I meant.
I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, full of teenage angst with all kinds of passion thrown in. Passion for family, culture and of course food.
I give this book 4 stars ⭐️
It might not be the most Fall-vibe book on my October TBR, but it’s definitely one of the most anticipated 😍🧡 “With The Fire On High” is the perfect book for anyone who loves deep narratives, marinated with a love of cooking and baking. Everyone that has recommended this book to me has told me how much I’m going to love it and how I’ll not be disappointed, especially since I loved The Poet X💜 Have you read this book?

🌺 #booksandfruit 🌺 QOTD: Who’s an author you've tried and want to read more of their books? Elizabeth Acevedo's With the Fire on High was really good! I've heard wonderous things about her other books too and I cannot wait to get to them. I also recently rediscovered my love of cherries. I ate so many cherries these past two weeks. 😅 I've also just learned that an Avocado is a fruit. This does not compute. Lately, I've been looking up benefits of eating different things. I am attempting to improve my health, actually one of the major things is sweets. I craved them every day and now it has gotten so much better. I still eat it from time to time but not nearly as much as I used to. I also try to go for fruits I like instead of the cookies, brownies, or whatever junk food I would normally go for. It's a long journey and a lot of little steps which can be frustrating, but it'll pay off in the end. Also, being balanced helps, because then you are not depriving yourself of anything and it's less of a rebound. 🌺 |Tags| #WithTheFireOnHigh #ElizabethAcevedo #booksbooksbooksandmorebooks #bookishflatlay #yastandalone #diversereads #yacontemporary #yaromance #yafiction #foodbooks #family #contemporary #realisticfiction #readingforfun #readinglove #readingismagic #readingislit https://www.instagram.com/p/CRZV0Isrcpj/?utm_medium=tumblr

🔥 Book Review - With The Fire On High 🔥 Emoni Santiago is 17-year-old, a high school senior, and a single mother to a 2-year-old girl Emma. She lives with her Abuela since her mother died when she was born and her father abandoned her. This book is amazingly written with short chapters that encourage the reader to keep reading further. The characters are awesome, realistic, and provide the person next-door vibe. This is such an important YA book and the author has beautifully highlighted and addressed so many social issues. Emoni is a beautiful character. At such a tender age, she is mature, her family is her priority, she is a great mother and an awesome friend. With so much already on her plate, her zeal and persistence to pursue her dreams is captivating. I was so happy for her when she understands what dreams are during her school trip to Spain and she decides that whatever happens, she will face all the obstacles in her way to make them true. I am so glad that the main focus of this book was not on finding love for Emoni but to find a wonderful life for her and her family and love would follow along. I think I have not read anything so beautiful. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After reading this book, I can not wait to read Clap When You Land and Poet X by the author @acevedowrites. #withthefireonhigh #withthefireonhighbook #withthefireonhighreview #elizabethacevedo #elizabethacevedobooks #elizabethacevedoauthor #harpercollins #harpercollinspublishers #harpercollinsus #quilltreebooks #bookreview #bookreviews #bookreviewfeatures #bookreviewsofinstagram #bookstagram #bookblog #bookblogger #bookbloggersofinstagram #reading #bookreviewsneedlovetoo #5starreview #bestbooksof2020 #books #bookandplant #bookandplants #ownvoices #latinxheritagemonth (at Stay At Home) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHQ9TV3AzZq/?igshid=1vcm9arx5vqho
Hi Bookstagram Family, New Week! New hopes and new to-do lists. How did your Monday go? Mine was exhausting. I think it was more about me missing the warmness of my bed with a book and a cup of coffee. Today I am sharing my current read. I am reading With The Fire On High and loving it. I am so excited to discuss it at the end of the month with my amazing booksta buddies. I am more than halfway through and I feel for Emoni Santiago, a 17-year-old high school senior. She aspires to be a chef and I am astonished to see her persistence. I can't wait to see how this book unfolds as the book progresses, but I can just say that I am already in love with it and Emoni. #withthefireonhigh #elizabethacevedo #elizabethacevedobooks #buddyread #buddyreads #quilltreebooks #harpercollins #harpercollinspublishers #books #bookstagram #read #reading #readingtime #readingisfun #readingnook #readingisfun #readingcommunity #bookcommunity #booksconnectus #ownvoices #ownvoicesbooks #ownvoicesbookchallenge #booksofinstagram #booksofig #booksof2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGjJ8pCg_Ok/?igshid=ouqiaw27dwpm
🌺Monthly Wrap-Up🌺 QOTD: How was your reading month? AOTD: So, I've read 3 books (working on my 4th) and I enjoyed both of them thoroughly. I am also going to do something a little different and add a mini review! ~Read~ With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo - 4 stars Prom & Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg - 3.75 stars I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella - 4 stars ~In Progress~ Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas ~Mini Review~⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Malachi was just an amazing guy. I really liked how she was close (or sorta close) with her abuela. But she can be a little intense. One thing that did annoy me was the fact that abuela was spelled 'buela. I don't know why. Maybe because my slang is abue??? Who knows, I mainly say abuela anyways. I really don't care for Tyrone. He's a spoiled little man child that needs to grow up. I don't like his mom either. Which I mean, are we really supposed to? I am so glad that everything worked out and the ending! I had so many emotions at the end! Also, all the food. OMG it sounded all so delicious! 🌺 |Tags| #monthlywrapup #readingmonth #WiththeFireonHigh #ElizabethAcevedo #PromandPrejudice #ElizabethEulberg #IOweYouOne #SophieKinsella #yacontemporary #adultcontemporary #romance #yaromance #adultromance #bookishcandle #bookreview #bookstagrammers #bibliophilelife #booksofig #readingtogether #readersofinstagram📚📚❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CEj4iNyg7p8/?igshid=wjb939hqk35t
