Graham's Delicacies
by Mina Waheed
3.5 ⭐
I preordered Graham's Delicacies when it was announced because 1) I loved Soft on Soft and 2) I wanted to support the author but also 3) QUEER SHORT STORIES YES PLEASE
Saccharine is about Jen that we saw briefly in Soft on Soft. She's a waitress at Graham's Delicacies and she's the cutest person ever ♥ I loved her and her relationship with her family and coworker, she's the kind of person that makes you smile easily
Not only this story is an introduction to the cast and the bakery but we follow Jen and Emilie throught their feelings
I loved them both, the cats, the frozen talks and just the atmosphere ♥ But because it was an introduction, I would have needed more chapters to really fell in love with them
rep: Emilie is non binary (she/they), they have anxiety and if i remember correctly they're pansexual, Jen is a Black fat bisexual girl with anxiety too. Jen's brother, Jackson is trans
Delectable was my favourite story because I loved the dynamic between Sam and James, also: slow burn.
James is gay Black bookworm who reads romance books during his shift, he's also the best friend everyone could wish for, and a proud cat owner. James is a cutie too, he's the co manager of Graham's Delicacies and the local Mexican-American gay mess. He's never been kissed but he had a crush on James for the last three years. James was adorable, he's kind of the dad figure because he's the one who raised his siblings. Speaking of sibling, his twin sister is a proud lesbian
Ravenous sounded so good on paper, an ennemies to lovers who used to be a one night stand between a baker and a food blogger? YES PLEASE
I had a little problem with the romance in this one because i thought they were closer in age. Yujin is 22 while Alex are 28. I thought Alex was Yujin's age or even younger at first and I was surprised to see they gap between them, and it didn't help that it's hinted a lot that Yujin is kinda boyish by the way he looks or texts. It wasn't a bad romance, just that I personally don't like romance with big gap (yes 6 years is a big gap for me here)
Anyways, we follow Alex who are Persian-Arab gay disaster who are trying to provide for them and their little brother. One night they met Yujin, who's a Korean-American gay food blogger. They both can forget each other but when Alex realise that Yujin is a famous blogger, nicknamed King who did a bad review of Graham's Delicacies, he's not happy.
Don't get me wrong it was cute, and i liked to see the whole cast at the end but this one was really fast and again the age gap made me uncomfortable.
to conclude: Graham's Delicacies has three cute romances that everyone should read ♥
