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!!
