With the Fire on High | Sticky Note Reviews

When I heard that Elizabeth Acevedo was releasing a new book, there was no doubt that it was going on my TBR. There was also no doubt that I’d be purchasing it (even though I hardly buy books anymore), especially given how much I loved The Poet X (and Acevedo’s reading of Ibi Zoboi’s Pride).
