Between all that, a groundbreaking agender protagonist, a love interest who uses both he/him and they/them pronouns, and a cast of complex queer and trans characters, this book proves a necessary addition to the young adult romance genre. LGBTQ+ characters are allowed to experience joy, fall in love, and break up. And Harley believes Syd’s magical baking can fix things, too-one recipe at a time.Ĭapetta's groundbreaking romance makes magic by centering queer and trans characters and relationships. But the cute bike delivery person, Harley (he or they, check the pronoun pin, it’s probably on the messenger bag), believes Syd about the magic baking. Being dumped is one thing causing ripples of queer heartbreak through the community is another. And their breakup might take the bakery down with it. Even Vin and Alec, who own the Proud Muffin. And everyone who eats Syd’s breakup brownies. Being dumped is no different, except now Syd is baking at the Proud Muffin, a queer bakery and community space in Austin.
Syd (no pronouns, please) has always dealt with big, hard-to-talk-about things by baking. Unless, of course, it was done by my brownies. Teenage baker Syd sends ripples of heartbreak through Austin’s queer community when a batch of post-being-dumped brownies turns out to be magical-and makes everyone who eats them break up.
