I loved the baking aspects of this story-- I'm obsessed with anything from Masterchef to the Great British Baking Show to Bake Squad, so this was right up my alley! I felt like Maddie and Justin acted a little young for their age- this could've easily been a YA set in high school based on their thoughts and actions. I was a little taken aback by just how much Justin teased Maddie, especially with her history of being bullied. And I felt his cheek strokes and long hugs were a bit unfair to Maddie since she confessed her feelings and he didn't for so long. I also wished Maddie and her friends talked about more than just boys for many of their convos. I was taken out of the story by some grammar mistakes and the prose could've been more refined-- a good line edit would've tightened things up. I enjoyed Maddie and Mia's relationship and was happy we got an HAE.
