My Review
Delicious Disasters is a cute story about trying to find what makes you happy. After losing her bookstore and needing to find a new focus in life, Tessa turns toward baking after the encouragement from her best friend. Plenty of disasters occur – including a kitchen fire that sparks a connection in her love life – but I enjoyed seeing that Tessa didn’t give up on learning something new. Because I am a fellow undomestic goddess with plenty of kitchen fails under my belt, it was a little hard to fathom Tessa going from starting fires to being an amazing baker with very intricate cakes, but it was fun to imagine. There are a lot of layers to this book – from the friendship angle to Tessa’s tangled love life and more – and while sometimes the dialogue and inner thoughts didn’t come across smoothly, I was still interested in Tessa’s journey and see how the story would wrap up.
