Review:

Eh. This book was a little too cliche. I liked it, but it felt a lot like Tweet cute, and to be honest, I liked that one better. I think this one got a little too complicated with the flood and stuff, and I didn’t like the character's banter as much. Each of the characters was pretty strong, but they didn’t fit together as well as I had hoped. Anyway. It was ok but not fantastic!

Synopsis From Book:

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?
