Love love love this book!!! I just want to try all of the pastellitos y pan Cubano now!! I loved the sweet Romcom, it’s like drinking iced milk tea, so sweet and refreshing. We love POC leads!! The representation and incorporation of her culture and baking and just an overall great multidimensional character that deals with grief and struggle but finding her own worth and making decisions for herself not for anyone else. We love to see it. And of course, since we are in England, my taylor swift songs for this book have to include “London boy”, and  “I think he knows”. I highly recommend this sweet Romcom with POC rep and multidimensional characters!!

The pace of this was very slow and I felt rather disconnected from both the main character and the love interest. I did like the new friendship group and a lot of the side characters. I found the “emotional recipes” an annoying quirk in the writing. The cooking theme was enjoyable. This was just okay.

This book is very sweet. It’s a book about recovery, like Twilight:New Moon. I felt there wasn’t enough tension sometimes or it felt a little repetitive. It’s also very poetic which I personally don’t love in a YA book.
