This is one of my most recent reads by @laekanzeakemp . I remember reading her self published books a few years ago and really enjoying them. I'm excited to see more books published by her. It was so nice to see such great Latinx representation and I do recommend this one if you're lo for that in a YA novel. Have any of you guys read this debut? If you did, what did you think? #SomewhereBetweenBitterandSweet #LaekanZeaKemp #latinx #latinxrepresentation #contemporarybook #contemporary #books #reading #bibliophile https://www.instagram.com/p/CSRxO_vrRFd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Somewhere Between Bitter and Sweet by Laekan Zea Kemp is filled with heart, soul, and Mexican community and culture. Pen is an aspiring pastry chef at her father's Mexican restaurant Nacho's Tacos, but when her dreams don't match up with her parents' expectations, she's forced to grow up quickly. Xander, who is undocumented, is trying his best to fly under the radar. Thankfully he finds a job at Nacho's Tacos, where he finds Pen. The two click immediately. Together the two navigate a journey of self-discovery and belonging, all while embracing their Latinx heritage.

Book Review: The Girl in Between #1 {A MH book that hits close to home}
The Girl in Between #1 by @LaekanZeaKemp A MH book that hits close to home... #mhbookbingo
” That was one of the worst things about being sick. Someone was always waiting on you, which meant disappointing people was inevitable.” As a person who has mixed headaches ( Migraine + Tension headache), I almost cried upon reading the quote above. I missed out on a lot of University events because of my headaches, which obviously made me upset. But then I have to call someone to apologize…

"My mother called me brave; but all I could think was that sick people are brave by default. We are brave because we have to be. We are brave because the alternative is not an option."- The girl in between, @laekanzeakemp One of my favourite quotes from a book I love 💛 #iambravebecauseihavetobe #palliativecarewarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/CKYjUwyjui6/?igshid=1vi4vlg5z309g

Is this something to be optioned Hollywood? I think this would be a very cool movie franchise! Highly recommend this book for the #12daysofbookmas if you're looking for unusual and interesting choices by an artist/author and you enjoy a good mystery. #LaekanZeaKemp wove an incredible story together (my review on Amazon reveals how much I enjoyed this book). Such a skillful work of fiction! I think you may like it! #book📖 #loveforbooks #fictional #moviefranchise (at Hollywood)

This book was actually pretty good. I think the characters were probably my favorite part. I have my full review posted on Goodreads if anyone wants the full details. I'll definitely be continuing this series in the future, though. There aren't many YA novels that have parents actually present in the novel that act like actual parents and a realistic teenage high school experience with friends and makeup work and homework. It was a nice change. The romance is also very well done, as I mention in my full review. The plot was a bit slow in terms of story progression, but the characters completely made up for that. #books #reading #bibliophile #TheGirlinBetween #LaekanZeaKemp

“But maybe I could give myself something too—permission to keep trying. Even when it felt like it was all for nothing. Even if trying was all I ever did, I shouldn’t stop.” - @laekanzeakemp #igivemyselfpermissiontokeeptrying (at Cardiff Marriott Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bqYkLBPjH/?igshid=tijd2eap5gej

Finished book 2 for this series and immediately continued to book 3. I can't wait to move on to book 4. I'm not usually one to pick on any books with much mystery in them, but these books have a great balance of mystery, supernatural, and contemporary elements. Will be posting my review on Goodreads for book 2 as soon as I get a chance. Great book series so far. #TheBoyinHerDreams #TheChildrenoftheMoon #laekanzeakemp #books #reading #bibliophile
