This was a very solid YA contemporary focused on Shireen, a fat sapphic Bengali-Irish teen, entering a baking competition on national television to help her parent's donut shop. Things get complicated when her ex-girlfriend also shows up and Shireen seems to be getting close to another contestant.

The book was a blast to read, you'll get stuck in the story like I get stuck in a chocolate fudge cake, gulfing it down, wanting more and more.
The author's note at the end also summed up something that felt so incredibly refreshing: we follow a fat character who loves food, and never is she fat-shamed!
Also, it was great to see chapter titles made out of baking puns. Bring back the chapter titles in books!

For me this isn't a five-star because there were just a couple of things I couldn't quite accept:
The things that happened, how they happened, all while filming a nationaly televised show? No way it would actually happen that way...
Also, the romance didn't feel like a great big romance, but it wasn't really meant to be. On the one hand it's refreshing, but I'd be lying if I said I would have liked to feel more from the romantic aspect of the story, I didn't quite feel the romantic connexion between the endgamers.
Anyway, that's just the pros and cons of fiction: sometimes you've got to bend the truth so that a story can be interesting...
Which this was.
