I have to be honest: this book first hooked me because of the cover. I am so glad it did! I adored Rubi Ramos’s Recipe for Success by Jessica Parra. It is such a cute read!
Meet Rubi Ramos. She bears a lot of pressure as a second-generation immigrant from Cuba. She is trying to find her roots through food and live up to her family’s expectations. She is also a baker who loves creating recipes.
When she finds out about a baking contest, she is immediately drawn to it and the possibility of it helping her out of the baking ban placed on her by her parents. Will Rubi be able to partake in the contest without her parents finding out, and what will happen with that cute surfer-slash-math tutor?
Overall this was a beautifully written book, and I cannot wait to reread a physical copy. I highly suggest adding this to your summer reads list and taking it with you for a day at the beach. Warning, a side effect of reading this book is you will want yummy baked goods almost the entire time.
Thank you to Netgalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Wednesday Books for an eARC in exchange for my honest review!
