But Lari’s world turns upside down when her beloved grandmother passes away. On top of that, a big supermarket chain has moved to town, forcing many of the small businesses to close. Determined to protect her home, Lari does the unthinkable—she works together with Pedro Molina to save both of their bakeries.

Great narrator who kept up an energetic and lively delivery, with good pronunciation of the non-English words that helped the story to be very engaging and immersive. I didn’t understand the food they were describing but it all sounded delicious! Such was the magical experience. This was a really fun contemporary romance novel that I enjoyed in one sitting. I think it speaks to me as a child of strict and tough-love Asian parents living in a society where it’s more important to be “practical” in life. Hence the conflict was believable with high stakes without being too toxic. And I love the friends!! The romance was also well paced and believable, both main characters had depth and backbone to them. I did wish we got to see more of Lari developing her cooking skills, as it was hard to believe she was actually cut out for cooking! Carvalho’s writing has good balance and I look forward to more from them.
