Shireen Malik is still reeling from the breakup with her ex-girlfriend, Chris, when she receives news that she’s been accepted as a contestant on a new televised baking competition show. This is Shireen’s dream come true! Winning will not only mean prize money, but it will also bring some much-needed attention to You Drive Me Glazy, her parents’ beloved donut shop.
Things get complicated, though, because Chris is also a contestant on the show. Then there’s the very outgoing Niamh, a fellow contestant who is becoming fast friends with Shireen. Things are heating up between them—and not just in the kitchen.
As the competition intensifies, Shireen will have to ignore all these factors and more—including potential sabotage—if she wants a sweet victory!

The characterization could’ve been stronger, but I liked a lot of the dynamics. I ended up really rooting for Shireen, her family, and their shop—I loved the family and cultural parts of the story. I also loved Padma and was so grateful for her presence in the book. It was a bold choice to have a best friend character who was in a different country for the vast majority of the book, but I think it paid off and created some really great, nuanced conflict. I may not feel like I know Fatima that well as a character, but the friendship storyline with her is my favorite interpersonal storyline in the book.
I wasn’t as invested in the romance storylines, but that could just be me and my preferences. I wish we would’ve been told more about Chris and their pre-book break-up earlier. That info was hidden from us as readers, and it’s a pet peeve of mine when that’s done to create a more dramatic reveal.
I know that sounds like a lot of things I didn’t enjoy, but overall, I had a nice time with this book. I pre-ordered because I loved The Henna Wars and was super excited about this premise, and I wasn’t disappointed at all. The baking vibes, the cultural representation, the interpersonal dynamics, even the Dublin setting—there was really great stuff in here! This book felt cozy and light, easy to read and nice to escape into. My three stars are bursting with love and appreciation for what this book is.
Audiobook-wise: the narrator did a great job with the different voices and accents! I listen to everything via audio, but I think this would be a good audio read for anyone.
Fun story, great narrator
