Somewhere Between Bitter and Sweet by Laekan Zea Kemp
4.0
This was a good story. I’m going to have to come back and do my review at a later date. There’s a lot of things I need to think about.
*update: Brought together by a love of food and family, this was a different story. Definitely a more mature #ownvoices YA novel. It’s romance but also coming of age, finding not only yourself but your place in the world. For Pen, she realizes she needs to fulfill her dreams, not her parents and for Xander, he is seeking assurance that his father does love him, that he wasn’t just left behind. The food descriptions alone made me want to learn how to create Pens amazing desserts! Foodies will appreciate this book.
