The Heartbreak Bakery

The ombre color scheme. The writing. The representation. The STORY. Where was this book when I fit neatly into the YA genre as a reader? This book is all sorts of delicious (ha!) and I flew through it and left it feeling warm. As a queer woman myself, seeing these books with the variety of representation is a perk to my days I usually don't know I needed until I get them. This one is cute, dynamic, and has a great cast of characters.

THIS is how you do a young adult romance!!! i feel like i've just found an oasis after wading through molasses i love you syd and harley

Sweet little magical realist YA novel about a teenage baker whose foods reflect their emotions. Set in a kind of fairyland Austin and full of delicious recipes. Really enjoyed this one!

(2022 Summer Romance Bingo: superpower. Would also work for food on cover or bicycle.)
