This book had soooo much potential, but it honestly just felt like a first draft.
There was essentially no plot for most of the book and things only started happening and potential plots developing in the last few chapters. Tbh it was mostly filled cake stuff. Like 80% of this book is just recipes, descriptions of fillings and baking tools and the hiring process. 10% of the book is basically just male-bashing, and I say this as a black ace woman in todays society, so trust me when I say the FMC (and essentially the author) was doing way too much. I am a very proud feminist and a champion of equality and diversity and just a more accepting, tolerant and kind society and AS a proud feminist I can say that there are some instances and comments in this book that made me feel mildly uncomfortable. The remaining 10% was plot, character and world building and that’s where the potential comes in! Excellent back story, lots to explore there with the FMC’s past as a goddess and her relationship with her godly family. I loved the relationship between her and the twins.
I found the FMC herself to be very unlikable to be honest. I know she’s been through a lot of awful, awful things and is dealing with understandable PTSD and trauma, but honestly I really didn’t like her. She was so annoying and preachy and judgemental (though she says she isn’t) and honestly a little closed-minded if you ask me. I wanted to care about her and root for her sooooo badly but honestly I just couldn’t. She pissed me off. I adored the twins though, even if their names are mildly ridiculous (Mary and Kary? And they willingly chose those?? Oh honey.)
Honestly writing this review I realise that given everything I’ve said you’re probably thinking that the rating should be lower, and you might be right, but honestly I’m loathe to give less than three stars to a novel unless I truly, truly despised it. This book did have its moments, and like I said there is lots of potential! I think it should probably go another few rounds of edits and could have done with some beta readers maybe,as well as ARC readers. But that’s just my opinion and I know that it takes a lot of really hard work and love to write a book and its very hard putting your work out there to get critiqued.
2.5 stars rounded up
