Rep: wheelchair user main character
There is just something about one character being in love with another and pining after them for years while the other is completely oblivious that just works. In BAKING ME CRAZY, Levi has been in love with his best friend, Jocelyn, from the moment he met her five years ago but, he has not acted on his feelings because he knew how she felt about romantic relationships. Then one day, Jocelyn is interested in the dating world again... just not with Levi. Levi decides to try winning Jocelyn's heart over with one small step at a time: because maybe this will prove to her the right man, the perfect romance has been right in front of her, waiting, this whole time.
All I have to say is, can I get a Levi? The way that he is at Jocelyn's side to support her? We stan. Despite this story having a trope I'm not always a fan of (friends-to-lovers,) I found myself invested in the characters and rooting for them to the end. I felt like I was watching some friends of mine finally realizing their feelings for each other. It is definitely a cozy and quick read. I just wish I had some baked goods to snack on. All these mentions of baking made me hungry!
