Fatima Tate Takes The Cake by Khadijah VanBrakle

4.0

This was a great coming of age story featuring a Black Muslim American teen who wants to be a professional baker despite her conservative parent's strict wishes otherwise. Fatima navigates her passion for baking through a teen baking competition while also getting to know a new husband prospect, Raheem, who ultimately turns into a controlling figure in her life who threatens to reveal her sexual history to her parents and their religious community. Great on audio and perfect for fans of authors like Sabina Khan or Farah Heron. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest revivew!
