A Sweet Mess by Jayci Lee

  • Twitter summary: Landon accidentally receives the wrong cake from Aubrey’s bakery and writes a scathing review, ruining Aubrey’s reputation as a pastry chef. Little did they know, they actually met each other at a bar on that fateful day…
  • The good: I was salivating at Lee’s scrumptious food descriptions and thoroughly enjoyed imagining I was the one eating the food. It reminds me that I need a piece of cake, stat.
  • The bad: I had trouble making genuine connections with both main characters and felt their lack of chemistry. It felt forced. However, my biggest issue with the book was the unnecessary obstacles — *spoiler alert* think daddy issues and the unplanned pregnancy — that ruined it for me.
  • Recommendation: If you’re hungry and/or desperately craving dessert, then yes.
  • Overall rating: 2/5 sweet buns
