Cakes for the Grump by Sookh Kaur
4.75
funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

Luke and Rita are a couple that I adored and rooted for so hard! Luke is a billionaire grumpy head of his father's company and Rita is an aspiring chef with a very big heart.

This is a slow burn that was so well done! The way they slowly go from tiptoeing around each other, to starting a tentative friendship, to really becoming good friends, and having a fake relationship to becoming a REAL relationship... It was just super fun.

Rita struggles with a father that's an alcoholic and didn't have a great relationship with. Luke is trying to show that while he does head this huge money making company, he is not like his tyrant father and had a good heart. These two really helped balance each other out.

Both Rita and Luke's best friends are such comic relief and I loved every single scene with them too.
