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!
