We put a piece of ourselves on a plate and hand it over to someone else."Let's talk magical baking. In my humble baker opinion, all baking is magical but this book has ✨magical✨ baking. Baking that changes the emotions of those who enjoy the baked good and can alter their lives. When Syd (no pronouns) learns that brownies made in an emotional rage bake, have caused break ups aro...

This book is so celebratory of queerness and queer community. People check Harley’s pin for their or his pronouns every day. Everyone is so accepting and kind, even in difficult moments. (And even if they express that a bit differently!) The bakery is almost entirely queer people, including an aro/ace character. There’s a polyamorous brunch! This is a bit of a spoiler, because it happens at the end, but I have to mention it any way: (view spoiler)[there’s a big gay Texas bake off! “Sure, but wha...

ABSOLUTELY FREAKING GORGEOUS! And the fact that this gender-exploring beautiful queer story takes place in TEXAS just is icing on the magical cake 🎂🥰🏳️‍🌈

Whenever I see a queer couple doing even the simplest things, like kissing or holding hands or existing, I swear I get stronger. 🖤🖤🖤wow! a super gay magical realism breakup novel with a remarkably diverse cast of characters, and some romance for good measure! this is a sweet book with an irresistible premise.but while reading i was continually reminded that the heartbreak bakery doesn't feel quite YA. our main character, syd, already has so much experience and wisdom; far more than most 17-ye

This is really one of the gayest books I've ever read. And that includes Cute Mutants Vol 1: Mutant Pride! And like CM, this book means so much to me because of the agender rep. Dylan and Syd are two of the most relatable characters I've come across and I love these two so much.Thank you so much to Pride Book Tours and Candlewick Press for a finished copy in exchange for an honest review.

4.25 stars!Why is it so satisfying to me that I finished this book on Valentine's Day? Review to come here, and on my blog https://sunnysidereviews.wordpress.com/ !Ahh this looks AMAZING!! Food? Cupid vibes? AND diversity? Sign me up!

I really like fantasy and I like eating especially baked goods. Sometimes when you combine two things I enjoy the mix just seem to work out, I'm happy to say that this book makes the combo work out perfectly. Our baker is magic, Syd's bakes brings out peoples emotions, and when that works out poorly with a bake Syd spends the rest of the book fixing it.

another book incorrectly using the term “femme”! every fucking dayyyy

The Heartbreak Bakery is a quarter cup love letter to queer community, half a cup of tooth-achingly sweet young love, a generous spoonful of gender feelings, and a dash of magic. There aren't enough words to express how well this novel all comes together or how much I adored it. It's cozy and warm, like you've just eaten a homemade baked good, filled with love. Absolutely wonderful, stunning, perfect novel.

My favourite experience is and will always be reading a book exactly when you need it. I read this book exactly at the right time for me, and it felt like a warm bath. This was sweet and magical and very very queer, and I loved every second of it. It was so amazing to read a romance between two non-binary characters!

HELLO I NEED THIS DESPRATELY IT SOUNDS SO CUTE AND FUN AND I MEAN IT'S AMY ROSE CAPETTA SO I'M SURE I'LL LOVE IT AND AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Oh, I absolutely fell in love with "The Heartbreak Bakery". Reading this novel literally melted my heart. If you're looking for a book centring around queer communities - this is it! The magical realism was perfectly executed - it was understandable and easy to read! I loved the recipes that were added in between some chapters, they were funky, sweet and lightened up the book.There's so much amazing queer representation, it was so wholesome and what I need more books to be. There's agender, tran...

“mix in reminders that all of this is fleeting… tomorrow, change your ingredients as needed.” [from the recipe: today’s gender]i am grinning even writing this review, just as much as i was smiling stupidly reading this amazing story. i love reading diverse books and books representing different identities- and this delightful queer YA romcom did NOT disappoint! it follows syd (no pronouns), a baker in austin, texas who has just been through a breakup- and also works at a queer bakery, the proud

it there was ever a book to describe as a cinnamon roll, this would be it. everything about this book was warm and cosy and comforting and a delight from the first page until the very last. it left my heart filled the kind of joy and warm fuzziness only a truly wonderful reading experience can give. I absolutely adored it. a new 2021 favourite for sure.

I received an ARC from Edelweiss TW: dysphoria3.8Syd has always had baking, a job at The Proud Muffin, and girlfriend, W, as constants. But when W breaks up with Syd, the baking becomes a problem as well. Because it turns out when Syd was angry baking brownies for The Proud Muffin, they took on all the relationship ending anger Syd had been feeling. And now the break up brownies were... well, breaking people up- including Syd's formerly sickeningly in love bosses, and owners of the bakery. On...

updated review:They say baking is magic, and The Heartbreak Bakery proves it! I loved this book. Syd is such a likable protagonist who you can’t help but root for. The Proud Muffin sounds like the most lovely, magical, and safe place – a place that everyone needs. I was smiling from ear to ear the entire time I was reading. I loved the recipes included in the book and will absolutely be trying some of these bakes in the future! I do wish that it was a bit longer, as I felt that some of the pacin...

One day, after Syd’s relationship with W ends, Syd deals with it in the best way—baking. And amazing Breakup Brownies are created.The problem is, anyone who eats the Breakup Brownies well, breaks up, including Vin and Alec, the owners of the Proud Muffin. With
