With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
This novel has taken Bookstagram (yes, its a thing and its glorious) by storm. It’s not only because the cover is gorgeous, but also because it’s an inspiring story for those who need to read it most. Emoni Santiago got pregnant during her freshman year of high school and now everything she does is for her daughter and her abuela. While she tries to remain disciplined, she cannot forget her dream of becoming a chef. Try as she might to follow the rules and go the conventional route, she cannot ignore her passion and eventually allows her love of cooking to guide her path.
