Daisy Murray loves her local bakery, but she's certain the rude baker hates her. One day she's at the bakery with mister grumpy, when an earthquake hits. They get stuck inside together. Will they finally decide once and for all why he hates her so much.
Well, she thinks he hates her, but reality is much different. I loved their back and forth and how the story unrolled. With only 40 pages, it left me wanting more. There is almost no spice until the very end. It's another short and sweet read for those year-end goals. Love that the characters are POC.
Let me just add that the narrator, Aure Nash, became my favorite female narrator after this. Her voice is like silk, and I went searching for books she's narrated just to listen to her voice more. Do yourself a favor and listen to the audio on this one!

This was... not for me, but it did pass time on the treadmill so I'll be generous. Nothing really happened and then they jump into bed?
Either she was the most oblivious woman in the world or he spends his time constantly scowling like a cartoon villain -- those are the only options for this much misunderstanding.
The little moment where she tells him what he should have done was kind of cute, but it did not make up for the rest. It felt all over the place, she jumps to her phone when notifications come in, then is crying because her family is alright? Yet beyond texting people she hasn't let on at all that she's scared for them. And that flatness was present through the whole thing. Not a fan.
