I loved the characters, I liked how the story progressed, the journey was so relatable, and there were just so many sweet moments. But, I still have SO many more questions!😭 I guess I’m one of those people who likes their books to end tied together with a bow on top. I want everything to be addressed and/or resolved, but there’s still so much more I want to know! (Mini spoilers) What about Malachi? What will become of their relationship? I know she said long distance but I think we can all deduce that won’t last because their young and long distance often doesn’t work. Is Angelica definitively going to go to Pratt? What about ‘Buela? When is she going to marry Mr. Jagoda? Is she going to marry him? If she marries him will she go live with him? What will happen with Emoni and Babygirl? Will they continue to stay in ‘Buela’s house while she attends school and works at the restaurant? Will her father also continue to stay in ‘Buela’s house so he and Emoni can forge a relationship? What’s going on with Pretty Leslie? What are her plans? What about the situation with Tyrone’s mom? I wish she would have read that women for filth because she was horrible and sexist and she raised a misogynistic son. I’m glad Tyrone seemed to get his act together in the end but I think he’s still a “you-know-what”. His ridiculous possessiveness over Emoni was frustrating and I wish she would have really told him about himself and how hypocritical he’s being. Anyway, I’m glad they reach some sort of understanding but I still don’t think it’s really resolved. Anyways, I’ll talk about the things I enjoyed about this book now that my rant is over. Emoni is so relatable. My reticence to read YA comes from feeling like I can’t relate to high school characters anymore since I’m far done with that time in my life and I don’t want to relive it. But I found so many things about Emoni’s character relatable that I was surprised and I just wanted to keep following her journey. Her journey to figure out her future I understood so well because even now I struggle to plan my own future. It’s such a big decision to make when you’re 18 what you’re going to do for the rest of your life. I’m glad that she knows food is her passion and something she wants to pursue a career in which puts her miles ahead of many people her age. That way she knows what she wants she just has to figure out how to get there. I could also relate to feeling like you don’t fit today’s body ideal and struggling with feeling desired. I felt that more so in HS and my first couple years of college but I’ve learned to be comfortable in my body and even recognize things that a like about it. I’ve also learned not to look for validation or desire from men. I personally just don’t want their attention. I loved Emoni’s passion for food. I not intuitive and have exceptional skills with food as she does but I found her passion so relatable and reassuring. There was a moment when she subtly watches her grandma dice an onion and her grandma calls her out and tells her I know how to chop an onion! That moment I loved because I do the same to my mom and she says the same thing. The relationships in this novel are also what propel this book forward. Emoni has such deep, complex relationships with her with the people around her and I find them so compelling. I loved her friendship with Angelica. They are true ride or die friends and I love that. I’m glad that she has the amazing support of her ‘Buela. It’s also nice to have the unwavering support of a parent and related to their relationship because my mom is that person for me. And MALACHI! Omg he’s just perfect, I can’t. He’s almost too perfect for a teenage boy. Like I’ve never seen any boy, or man for that matter, have the emotional depth or empathy that he does. He’s so empathetic and understanding that I just wanted to hug him! He is so sweet; the complete opposite of Tyrone. Like Emoni, I too wanted to learn so much more about him and his life and his passions. The time he and Emoni spent together in Spain confirmed him to be my favorite character. He’s just perfect! Overall, I really enjoyed this book! When I was reading this before bed I would tell myself, “ok just one more chapter”, then I would read three more. I had to force myself to put down. The relationships are what really drives the story for me. Emoni has a village of people who support her and want to see her win and that’s illustrated in the graduation photo that they take in the end. I loved that her passion for food was a motivating force for her and I can only hope to have something of my own that I’m just as passionate about. I think I would give this 4.5 stars because I love the characters and the story so much but we need to improve the ending. After reading this book and The Poet X I think I might buy a physical cop of these books.
