thecandlelightlibrary 's review for:

The Cookie Crumbles by Alechia Dow, Tracy Badua
3.0
lighthearted mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Great British Bake Off meets Knives Out? Sign me up! Unfortunately this didn't quite meet those expectations for me, but I like the idea & am looking forward to more in this series.

My biggest complaint, though, were the adult characters! First, what kind of adults allow a child to bully another the way Jaden did to Laila??? Second, WHAT KIND OF ADULTS ACCUSE A CHILD THEY'VE NEVER MET OF MURDER???? TO HER FACE?????? IN A GROUP SETTING?????
