This was rightfully cute! One of my favorite things about it was the way recipes were incorporated between chapters. Not only were there some really great recipes included in here, but they also directly connected to what was going on in Syd's life. Fair warning-this book will probably make you hungry!

I think the romance element was done pretty well, too. You can right off the bat that Syd and Harley have chemistry, and even though Syd is getting out of a relationship, they are just so perfect together. Plus, there are some great side characters who really round out this queer bakery haven in Austin, Texas.

Some of the magic baking stuff wasn't quite believable, especially towards the end there. However, I did enjoy Syd's journey and think this is an absolutely adorable queer baking romance.
