En charmerende julehistorie som man bliver kagesulten af

After winning season four of ratings hit the World’s Best Baking Show, Brody Thomas had become a sought-after cake maker to the stars. Happily married, he dreamed of a bright future, but his perfect life imploded when he discovered that his husband had done nothing but lie to him. A year later, Brody is mid-divorce, and his life has been turned upside down, so being part of the WBBS charity event is excellent timing. He’s sure it will give him time away from home and space to get his head straight, only he never expected to meet the man of his dreams in a snowy Alberta.

Winning season one of WBBS gave Justin Mallory a chance to outrun the demons of a childhood lost in the foster system. He’s a social media influencer, with millions of followers, and works every hour to make money that equals security for the rest of his life. His marketing team signs him up for the WBBS Christmas charity show, but he’s convinced he’ll fall at the first hurdle. Only, after a few days in the competition, his worry isn’t that he’ll be the first to leave, it’s that he’ll lose his heart to a rival baker, Brody.

When Curt Townsend, a successful young DC lawyer, attends his first gay wedding, he doesn’t expect anything more than a great evening out spent celebrating two lucky guys willing to commit to one another. He certainly doesn’t anticipate meeting someone like Jack Farinelli. Fourteen years Curt’s senior, Jack owns two businesses: a gay bar and a motorcycle shop. He’s gorgeous and self-assured, but Curt is positive they have nothing in common.
Jack is comfortable in his own skin. He’s attracted to Curt’s quick wit and easy manner but most of all, to their unexpected mutual love of baseball. As they forge a friendship based on their shared enthusiasm for the sport, they begin a journey which reveals how their differences might be the catalyst behind a growing attraction. Both men have experienced their share of pain, but they realize they need to set aside the past and learn to trust in a future if they are to have one together.

14-årige Tara har talent for at synge, men hun er samtidig meget usikker og genert. Rollen som korpige for veninden Astrid, der er forsanger i skolens band, passer hende derfor fint. Da musiklæreren bliver syg, og den unge, lækre Jesper bliver vikar, ændrer tingene sig imidlertid. Jesper hører Taras talent og opfordrer hende til at synge solo til majfesten. Men kan Tara magte det? Hvordan skal hun håndtere sine følelser for Jesper? Og hvordan vil det påvirke forholdet til den selvbevidste Astrid?

God ungdomsbog som er kort og præcis skrevet og meget nem at læse. Handlingen er overskuelig uden for mange sidehistorier og handler om emner som usikkerhed, manglende tro på egne evner, misundelse, venindeforhold og forelskelse.

Layla kæmper med sin ordblindhed, sit selvværd og sin utro kæreste. Ved et tilfælde begynder hun at smse med en ukendt fyr uden at vide, at det er Tyler fra sin high school. Tyler som hun har hadet hele livet

Læst som forberedelse til booktalk.
En rigtig fin ungdomsbog om kærlighed. Det er måske ikke en nyskabende eller anderledes roman, men den giver god underholdning, hvilket er fint. Alt behøver ikke være såkaldt stor litteratur. Det er er ''bare'' en god bog. En kærlighedsroman med alvor indblandet. Laylas kæmp med ordblindhed er virkelig godt beskrevet

En ok short story, men igen bliver jeg bare bekræftet i, at short stories ikke er mit ynglingsformat. Jeg foretrækker længere historier der kommer mere i dybden
