Reeling from a break up, Syd pours Syd’s feelings into these brownies which wreak havoc. How could it not be? Magical baked goods, recipes within the book, and a queer contemporary! As soon as I began, I fell in love. Capetta, so this one was already on my radar. I’ve slowly been reading more books by A.R. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)īefore I even began The Heartbreak Bakery I was already so excited. (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. And Harley believes Syd’s magical baking can fix things, too-one recipe at a time. But the cute bike delivery person, Harley (he or they, check the pronoun pin, it’s probably on the messenger bag), believes Syd about the magic baking. Being dumped is one thing causing ripples of queer heartbreak through the community is another. And their breakup might take the bakery down with it. Even Vin and Alec, who own the Proud Muffin. And everyone who eats Syd’s breakup brownies. Being dumped is no different, except now Syd is baking at the Proud Muffin, a queer bakery and community space in Austin. Syd (no pronouns, please) has always dealt with big, hard-to-talk-about things by baking. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. While there is heartbreak and tension, I just kept smiling while reading The Heartbreak Bakery. Full of recipes I need to bake right now and a story about magical baked good, this one is so precious.
