Sweet on You by Carla de Guzman
4.0
This was a short and sweet read. It follows Sari who runs a cafe with her two sisters in the Philippines. She is really annoyed when a bakery opens next door, run by Gabriel, a man she finds obnoxious, but who is apparently an amazing baker. What starts off as a not so friendly rivalry turns into something more, right before the holidays. However, Gabriel is so focused on meeting his fathers expectations that he loses sight of what's right in front of him.
I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed being introduced to Filipino desserts and customs. There were words and names of desserts in the native language which I didn't understand, but contextually, I could usually figure it out. I also enjoyed the love story, it was written well, without being cheesy.
I also loved the sisters relationship. I am also one of 3 sisters so could relate to the challenges and understanding they had with each other.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a little romance, and that too around the holidays!
