A review by cozycritiques
Bloom by Kevin Panetta

fast-paced
“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.
