Emoni Santiago is an Afro-Latinx high school senior in Phillywho dreams up the most delectable concoctions, always mixing up tastes from her two cultureswith a spice of her own. The news of a culinary arts course with a possible trip to Spain grabs herinterest, but how will she juggle school, work, and taking care of her daughter? The young womanis 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 PuertoRico after her mother's death). Acevedo populates her first prose novel with complex andunforgettable characters and turns the stereotype of 'teen mom' on its head. Emoni has to dealwith daycare drop-offs, custody issues, and making ends meet alongside college applications,budding romances, and the high school rumor mill. Realistic dialogue and vulnerable interiormonologues about sex, loss, and insecurities will ring true with all adolescents. The author expertlyweaves Spanglish, toddler mom worries, and culinary lingo and aptly evokes the Philly and Spainsettings, immersing readers in Emoni's world. The novel's three parts are introduced by recipescreated and perfected by the protagonist, and hints of Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolatewill leave teens hungry for more.
