About this audiobook
Trust neither thin-bottomed frying pans nor Molinas.
Lari Ramires has always known this to be true. In Olinda, Brazil, her family’s bakery, Salt, has been at war with the Molinas’ bakery across the street, Sugar, for generations. But Lari’s world turns upside down when her beloved grandmother passes away. On top of that, a big supermarket chain has moved to town, forcing many of the small businesses to close.
Determined to protect her home, Lari does the unthinkable—she works together with Pedro Molina to save both of their bakeries. Lari realizes she might not know Pedro as well as she thought—and she maybe even likes what she learns—but the question remains: Can a Ramires and a Molina truly trust one another?
Editor's Note
Sweet rom-com to be savored…
Though their family-run bakeries (the titular Salt and Sugar) have been rivals for generations, teens Lari Ramires and Pedro Molina must work together when a big box store threatens their livelihoods. Along the way, collaboration may just morph into courtship. Set in Olinda, Brazil, Carvalho’s debut is a sweet rom-com to be savored, with the enemies-to-lovers trope enriched by themes of grief, hope, and heritage.
