Man, I haven‘t emoted so much while reading a book in a long time. Everything that the characters felt in this book I felt too. This thing was amazing. 5🌟
Also agender rep if anyone‘s looking!

Syd got dumped, then found out they have the ability to influence people‘s emotions with their baked goods, which isn‘t super great when you work at a bakery and are having ALL THE EMOTIONS.
With the help of delivery person, Harley, and a whole lot of soul searching, Syd works on recovering their emotional bakes, saving relationships, saving the safe space the bakery is for the queer community, and figuring out who they are.

Only the second month and already facing hard choices 😅
February's pick was between this and Paris Daillencourt but the cozy feeling of Heartbreak Bakery won out.
Choosing between Jan and Feb was tough because they're both great queer stories but I ultimately decided on Astrid cause I related to it more

Honestly whenever I hear #Shimmer I just think of Taylor's song 'Bejeweled' but I've already used one of her songs for this month's prompts lol

'Queer people feeling their feelings' is a big theme in my wheelhouse & this book does it deliciously! (pun intended)
Magical break-up brownies start a chain reaction of relationship analysis in the Austin queer community, sparking self-reflection in Syd, an agender cupcake 🧁
Cue baking out your emotions, getting over your ex, flirting with your cute coworker, trying to save the broken relationships, & realizing nothing is as simple as you think
@Clare-Dragonfly I am so glad you put this on your #AuldLangSpine list! I really enjoyed it and it was adorable.
Syd accidentally infuses Magic into her “break-up” brownies, causing nearly all Queer couples in Austin to break up! A very sweet, coming of age romance featuring lots of Queer characters.

Delightful, heartwarming, magical. I‘ve been having a rough week and this was the perfect anecdote. I need to read more by A. R. Capetta!
Oh yeah, this book is exactly what I need right now. Thanks to @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian for the recommendation! I was so tempted to make these brownies today but I don‘t have the appropriate chocolate or any dried cherries.
Stayed up too late last night finishing this cute romance seasoned with magical realism, queer representation, and a whole bunch of mouth watering recipes. My biggest issue was trying to remember that Syd (Agender MC) was supposed to be a high school student still; I wonder if the character might‘ve been a bit stronger if allowed to be even a recent graduate or something. It was a weird circumstance that was wholly unnecessary. Still a fun read!
You might have to suspend your belief quite a lot to read this one, but if you're willing to go with the flow, it's a fun, delicious read. Featuring every kind of queer love and a dash of magical realism, this YA romance is at times sweet enough to give the reader a tooth ache, but it was a nice break from my usual dark reads. I probably liked it more than the rest of book club.

If it weren't so annoying to do I would write all my reviews as receipe cards.

I will be finishing The Heartbreak Bakery today, and hoping to make significant progress on the other two over this long weekend!
Enjoying this one! #swoonathon @ShyBookOwl #FirstLineFridays
Wow! Thank you so much @BookBosomed1 for my #SwoonathonSwap package! You went above and beyond and I love everything!! My daughter was already trying to steal those little gummy bears! 😂
I can't wait to break into my romance books, thank you again! ❤🥰 @kimmypete1 @MidnightBookGirl
I absolutely loved this book! Syd discovering their baking magic by accidentally breaking a bunch of couples up with brownies and then needing to fix it was a lot of fun. Great queer rep, super cute romance, and a lot of interesting exploration of relationships and what people need. I loved the narrative in the recipes too, and plan to make more of these delicious treats after making the scones and loving them. #LGBTQ #Baking #Bakery #Romance
I momentarily forgot that POS system is point of sale system and I was like "wow, tell us how you really feel about that checkout system!"
This book is too much fun. I absolutely love it and it's already a strong favorite! #LGBTQ #Bakery
