Oh how I wanted to love this! And at the beginning I did. I loved how the pies and baked goods were described but I could tell from the get-go I wouldn’t be able to connect with the MC very well. The dialogue also felt off and not how a normal conversation would go.
What made it 3 stars for me was the constant talk about weight. At first I didn’t mind it but once it seemed like the author fixated on it, I had to dock some stars. Why do authors still do this? It’s so unnecessary when it doesn’t add anything to the plot.
It’s a fine holiday read but I think there are better and cuter options out there. This also had a trope I didn’t like at all but don’t want to spoil it.
