books i read in 2022: the heartbreak bakery by a. r. capetta

When I was young and full of feelings I didn’t know how to share, when I was afraid nobody would understand me, I found a language everybody knows. Sugar, butter, flour. The comfort of a perfect cookie, the joy of a celebratory cake, the bittersweet importance of chocolate. I put everything in my heart into baking.

Years later, I lost the one person who I thought would see me and love me for exactly who I am - and the magic started up again. This has always been my way of sharing what I feel. Especially when things get hard.

Book #224 - The Heartbreak Bakery by A. R. Capetta

(I am very, very tempted to translate some of these recipies into a proper measuring system. You know, one that makes actual sense. Reading this made me hungry.)

From the blurb.... I hadn't expected this to be YA? Like, sue me, but I didn't see "17-year old employed baker" coming. I mean, good for Syd. But I had expected something else. Maybe I'd have more to say if it had been...

I liked the ending. I knew I would from the moment that the single strands of the (until that point) quite checklist-y plot started to come back and interweave. It was all going to come together in an overwhelming show of queer community and joy, and it did, and it was. Joyful. Queer. Community.

To me, as someone who already feels that he lives in a queer bubble, this is the Queer Bubble in book form. Which isn't criticism. It, again, felt kinda checklist-y sometimes, but... I mean, come on. The ending was worth it. Well worth it. This was the sweetest, queerest thing I got to read in a while. It was cozy wholesomeness and cute queer extravaganza and just... really sweet and nice.

Just... some delightful sugar. Read if in danger of losing hope.

[Stranger things. La storia segreta di Robin][A. R. Capetta]

Scopri la storia di uno dei personaggi più amati di Stranger Things: dov'era Robin mentre Will spariva senza lasciare traccia e Undici arrivava a Hawkins? Si stava nascondendo, non dai mostri, ma da se stessa...

È difficile trovare il proprio posto in una cittadina come Hawkins, Indiana. A scuola tutti pensano solo al ballo di fine anno e a spettegolare su chi esce con chi, e adesso persino gli amici nerd di sempre sono ossessionati dal provare a comportarsi in modo “normale”… Tutto ciò che può fare una ragazza fuori dal coro come Robin Buckley è starsene buona sullo sfondo e sperare che nessuno la noti.…

The Heartbreak Bakery

Teenage baker Syd sends ripples of heartbreak through Austin’s queer community when a batch of post-being-dumped brownies turns out to be...

Read this book.

It's cute, it's wholesome, it's heartwarming.

It's queer AF, it has an agender cupcake main character and I have read it twice this year. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and read it too. Or listen to the audio book, the narrator is great, imo.

I don't know what the genre is called. Magical realism maybe? Or super low fantasy. Honestly, just a fantasy bakery AU situation.
