A truly wonderful read! This is a story about a f/f love story, so if you find that off putting don't purchase. If you have an open heart and mind and want to read an incredible love story filled with humor, angst, and raw emotion then this is a book for you. Great characters, great story, and overall a great read.1 person found this helpful

This book had me hooked from the very beginning. Maybe it was the description of the muffins, truffles and other sweets (I want to eat that truffle that Molly made, it sounds awesome!)
The two main characters were great. There's Molly, who's the owner of a bakery called Flour Girl. It had been her father's and since he's too sick to run it's now Molly's (and she also happens to be the original 'Flour Girl'). Unfortunately the store isn't doing particularly well.
Then there's Jordan. She's a movie producer and wild and unpredictable woman as well as the younger sister of Molly's deceased partner Cassie, who died in a plane crash. Jordan comes home after being away from the small town where Molly also grew up and now lives and works. She's been away for the 4 years since Cassie died because she's been having a hard time with her older sister's death. Molly's been having a problem with Cassie's death too of course. The two, now both women, have known each other for a lot of their lives and as they slowly realize that maybe they're not just meant to be friends it gets complicated, wicked complicated.
It was a nicely paced novel with amazing main and secondary characters. From George, Jordan's friend, to Jordan's family, to Louise, Eden and Damon, Molly's employees at the bakeshop. The descriptions of the town of Applewood (in Illinois) were awesome too. And there was even a librarian in the book and she had more than one scene. Kudos for that.
I loved the Molly blind date stuff. Especially the first two that Molly went on. Jordan and Molly just had great chemistry throughout the book. All the characters really did and it all felt real and not forced.
It was an amazing book, very enjoyable and it made me very, very hungry, especially for desert.
I got this advanced galley through Netgalley on behalf of Bold Strokes Books.1 person found this helpful
