5/30/2023 0 Comments With the fire on high full book![]() ![]() ![]() I absolutely loved the representation we got here – there are black characters, Latinx character, there’s a lesbian side character and I just loved how wonderfully diverse this is. This book is wonderful on so many levels. This story follows her during her senior year. Emoni is a black Latina (her father is Puerto Rican) and she is living with her grandmother, and is really passionate about cooking. With the Fire on High follows Emoni, a 17-year-old single mom, who is in her final year of high school and is struggling to get everything done right – high school, work and raising her daughter. And it was such an enjoyable read, so once again, a great cover does not disappoint. And naturally, when I am doing my favorite thing ever (meaning perusing Edelweiss) and then see a cover like this, what am I gonna do, say no? I requested this one based on the cover, the fact that everyone loves Elizabeth Acevedo and the fact that this book has so much good in it. And if you look at the cover for With the Fire on High you can see one thing – IT IS STUNNING. As you’re all very well aware, I am incapable of resisting a good cover. ![]()

Her portrayal of the prisoners perpetuates this notion of glamour. ![]() “Her life story has a real glamour,” he wrote. You get the sense that if Kerman weren’t forced to go to jail, she would have seen those heroin-running years as a great cocktail party story-at least that’s what her husband makes it seem like in his first of two New York Times “Modern Love” columns about the couple’s relationship. Everything is blissful until she is nabbed by federal agents for her earlier crimes. She moves on seamlessly to a straight life in San Francisco (straight in both senses of the word-she starts dating her future husband and quits the drug-trafficking business). She talks about lounging at Bali beach clubs, free spa treatments in many different countries, and skinny dipping in waterfalls. * She becomes enthralled with an older, raspy-voiced lesbian named Nora, and through her romance with Nora, she falls into an international drug-running ring helmed by a West African. Kerman’s book starts out with her as a punchy postgrad with “a thirst for bohemian counterculture” stuck waitressing in her college town of Northampton, Mass. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As they spend time in close quarters, Margot starts to question her no-strings stance. ![]() It has nothing to do with the fact that Olivia is as beautiful as ever and the sparks between them still make Margot tingle. When a series of unfortunate events leaves Olivia without a place to stay, Margot offers up her spare room because she’s a Very Good Person. Obviously. Never in a million years did she expect her important new client’s Best Woman would be the one that got away. However, a wedding planner job in Seattle means a fresh start and a chance to follow her dreams. In the decade since she last saw Margot, her life hasn’t gone exactly as planned. It’s been ten years, but the moment they lock eyes, Margot’s cold, dead heart thumps in her chest. While touring a wedding venue with her engaged friends, Margot comes face-to-face with Olivia Grant-her childhood friend, her first love, her first… well, everything. And then fate (the heartless bitch) intervenes. But now her entire crew has found "the one" and she’s beginning to feel like a fifth wheel. She tried and it blew up in her face, so she’ll stick with casual hookups, thank you very much.
