I really thought this book was gonna be chill BUT IT REALLY HIT ME IN THE FEELS AND TUGGED ON MY HEART STRINGS!!!
it’s a lovely heartbreaking story about moving to a new place, grief over losing a loved one, dealing with all sorts of emotions and the struggle of being an older sibling. So many changes happen for jingwen and baking is the only thing that makes him happy as it reminds him of his dad.
I love the cute illustrations and the cakes did look delicious but I have no idea how they managed to eat the whole cake in one go without just vomiting all the time (AMAZING how much sugar kids can eat tbh).
Poor jingwen and his anxiety...I really hope his mum made him feel extra loved and special and that it definitely was NOT his fault about his dad coz children carrying such guilt is so heartbreaking.
