It is basically a warm cup of tea with a pastry on the side: warm, sweet, and reminds you of home.

Be aware that there is break-ups (both platonic and romantic), vandalism, funerals, cultural clashes, and teenage rebellion. Other than that, this is a rather chaste novel in terms of triggers.blackveilbeccy's review against another edition

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.
