The Heartbreak Bakery

A.R. Capetta

A YA magical-realism romance set in a queer bakery in Austin, where teenage baker Syd accidentally bakes a batch of brownies that causes everyone who eats them to break up with their partner. Syd teams up with a bike-delivery love interest, Harley, to undo the magical damage before it costs the bakery its community and its doors. Along the way the story explores Syd's agender identity and Harley's gender-fluid presentation as the two grow closer. It's a sweet, food-filled coming-of-age story about identity, healing from heartbreak, and new love.
