I really enjoyed this. Emoni is a likeable character, made mature for her age by circumstances, but still believable as a teen. I loved how she didn't try to hide or feel ashamed of the fact she was a teen mother, and how she was prepared to work hard for what she wanted and fight for what she needed. Her emotions and insecurities were very well portrayed , particularly her feelings for her father. And there was food - I love food books.
