Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet by Charlie N. Holmberg
3.0

First, I am really glad I chose to try listening to the audiobook after having difficulty with the ebook. Otherwise I might have just DNF'ed this book which would've been regrettable as it turned out to be a pretty enjoyable one. Second, while this is certainly a sweet read it's also a bit. . . sad and dark too. It's not a light read like one might think. The story is interesting though and the description in the book is really vividly done as far as setting, characters, the baking(omg but it'll make you hungry lol). The narrator does a really good job reading and her voices are decent enough though take a little to get used to at first for the guys. Beyond that my only suggestion is: if you've dealt with issues of domestic violence, pregnancy difficulties, or child loss I'd recommend not going into without being aware that sensitive matters relating to them do arise.
