This book ticked many of my boxes. Cozy murder, mystery, HBTIQ+ and feminist themes, some romance, a sprinkle of magic, mouthwatering descriptions of pastries, and a cute dog. There are even recipes!

The book is quite lighthearted, but deals with the listed CW's seriously, skilfully balancing the heavy content with, well, really cozy baking.
