“I would love to have something like that... To be on a team with someone... and to be better together than you ever could be alone.”
- Bloom
Tropes: Workplace, Baking, Friends to Lovers
Representation: Queer (M/M relationship), POC
CW: Death of a Grandparent, Fire, Toxic Friendship
This was such a sweet read. It reminded me a lot of Heartstopper if it were set in a bakery—just two soft boys becoming friends and falling in love. I loved the character growth, and the Maryland setting was a definite bonus.

This is one of the cutest queer stories I've read ever. And it's centered around baking. Ugh, precious! Ari and Hector's romance over the course of one summer is simplistically sweet and endearing. All while looking into the challenge of Ari trying to understand what's best for him and his future. Which I think even surprised him come the end of the story. This novel is just adorable and I can't wait to read the follow up. Also, Ari's parents are incredibly supportive and accepting of the fact that he's gay. Authors, keep writing stories with these supportive parents because it's amazing!

Graphic novels with gay characters are so nice, I genuinely adored this book despite the slight amounts of tension and difficulty. It was sweet and cute, I want to re-read it sometime. Simple read, I would suggest to anyone in the mood for small love stories.
