Emoni became a mom in 9th grade, and she has been forced to put her dreams on the back burner in order to be the best parent to her daughter. Now a Senior, Emoni is facing big decisions about her future. She has always loved created decadent and delicious dishes for her friends and family, and Emoni dreams of becoming a chef. Taking a special cooking class in school has her even more excited. However, night hours and being a single mom are not a great combination. With her future on the line, Emoni has to decide if she can be a parent and follow her passion in life, love, and food. I loved multi-award winning Acevedo's second book. The flavors Emoni creates waft from the pages of the book, and I dream of their being a tasting menu to match the book's recipes. The characters of the book have a lot of heart as they fight for their dreams, including Emoni's mixed emotions as she falls for a boy when she doesn't really want the drama dating could bring. Highly recommended!
