Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC 
A light and tasty story that had my stomach grumbling with the scrumptious sounding pastries. 
Rubi's parents have planned out her future, go to Alma University, be a successful lawyer, and never have to spend hours baking and working like they do. But baking is where Rubi's heart lies, and as much as she tries to follow the perfect recipe for success, her heart always draws her back to the kitchen. A chance to enter a Bake Off that comes to her town soon leads her down a road she won't be able to come back from. 
Baking competitions in books will always have my heart, and this one was no different. I loved the diversity, the romance, and the character growth that Rubi goes through. There is romance, but I would say the main plot and story focuses on Rubi coming of age, baking, and dealing with her family. (I actually almost enjoyed parts of the story without romance more, I think a first for me)
I also really liked the inclusion of the racism and classism that she has to deal with in school and from other adults. While not particularly palatable, it shone a very real light on what's it like trying to navigate the world as anything other than white and privileged. 
Be warned if you do read this, your stomach will be growling and demanding all of the tasty sounding treats that Rubi makes!
I would definitely recommend this, especially if you like sweet and diverse baking ya romances.
