This is cute, but nothing really happened, and the romance did not really make any sense to me.

I also don't really understand the MC's goal. This is not clear, and I wish that I could identify it. At first, it looks like he wants to be a musician and he feels really sure of that, but then out of nowhere, he just isn't?

The romance was not developed in a way that I enjoyed. There didn't seem to be a build-up or anything. It kind of just came out of nowhere.

I really liked the bakery setting, and the vibes are great, but it just didn't develop in a believable way.

Guide to my ratings:
5 stars: flawless, hard to put down
4 stars: it was really good and memorable
3 stars: it was good/okay
2 stars: none or not many redeeming qualities and somewhat forgettable
1 star: horrible, had no idea what was going on, boring!!!
