Critics Review
“Up In Flames is a sparkling and poignant debut that left me breathless, full of richly drawn characters that will stay with readers long after the book is closed.”

About The Author
Hailey Alcaraz
Hailey Alcaraz enjoys writing stories about multicultural Latinx characters, girls who choose the difficult path when it comes to love, and the clumsy journey of “finding yourself” as a young adult. As a second-generation Mexican American woman, a middle school English teacher for mostly Hispanic students in South Phoenix, and a lover of powerful female protagonists, Alcaraz is uniquely qualified to tell this story of a mixed race young woman blazing her own trail. She lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband, daughter, and German shepherd, Lemon.
