Baking Bad by Kim M. Watt

4.0

This was so incredibly good and I couldn't wait to review it.

On the surface, there's so much that I usually dislike in a book: revolving pov, "animals" who are sentient enough to make their thoughts known to people, a twee setting. And yet it ALL works.

Baking Bad was the antidote to a stressed mind. The comedic parts were actually funny - chuckle aloud funny - not I'm just laughing because that's what the author wants. And then, in the midst of it all, there was a brief scene with a throw-away comment that had me in tears. Powerful writing. In a cosy!

I could rave on and on about the sheer joy this story brought me, but it is far better to experience it for yourself.
