![]() i don't quite believe that so many people would have these serious talks without privacy, although it is useful as far a syd's character development. syd watches their lives unfold candidly, and is able to learn and grow from seeing elements of all of these messy relationships. i think this could have been a more believable and stronger story if syd were 20-something.Īnother iffy thing is that it's oddly voyeuristic how syd is in the loop of the relationship drama of so many other people. and the themes of heartbreak and self-discovery apply at any age. ![]() our main character, syd, already has so much experience and wisdom far more than most 17-year-olds. Wow! a super gay magical realism breakup novel with a remarkably diverse cast of characters, and some romance for good measure! this is a sweet book with an irresistible premise.īut while reading i was continually reminded that the heartbreak bakery doesn't feel quite YA. ![]() Whenever I see a queer couple doing even the simplest things, like kissing or holding hands or existing, I swear I get stronger. ![]()
