Description
Gr 9 Up-The acclaimed author follows up her celebrated The Poet X with a love letter to food and
a tribute to young, single mothers. Emoni Santiago is an Afro-Latinx high school senior in Philly
who dreams up the most delectable concoctions, always mixing up tastes from her two cultures
with a spice of her own. The news of a culinary arts course with a possible trip to Spain grabs her
interest, but how will she juggle school, work, and taking care of her daughter? The young woman
is barely balancing everything on her plate with the help of her talented best friend Angelica, 'Buela
(her intractable grandmother), and occasional visits from her activist father (who moved to Puerto
Rico after her mother's death). Acevedo populates her first prose novel with complex and
unforgettable characters and turns the stereotype of 'teen mom' on its head. Emoni has to deal
with daycare drop-offs, custody issues, and making ends meet alongside college applications,
budding romances, and the high school rumor mill. Realistic dialogue and vulnerable interior
monologues about sex, loss, and insecurities will ring true with all adolescents. The author expertly
weaves Spanglish, toddler mom worries, and culinary lingo and aptly evokes the Philly and Spain
settings, immersing readers in Emoni's world. The novel's three parts are introduced by recipes
created and perfected by the protagonist, and hints of Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate
will leave teens hungry for more. VERDICT Acevedo's second serving offers a much-needed
nuanced exploration of teen parenting that belongs on all shelves.-Shelley M. Diaz, BookOps: The
