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!
Content Warnings
Graphic: Stalking
Moderate: Body shaming, Sexism, Infidelity, Misogyny, Death of parent, Kidnapping, Murder, Sexual assault, Sexual harassment, and Emotional abuse
The book is quite lighthearted, but deals with the listed CW's seriously, skilfully balancing the heavy content with, well, really cozy baking.
