Guava Flavored Lies by J.J. Arias
4.5
I adored this sapphic romance. We follow life long enemies (due to a generations long family feud) Sylvie and Lauren. Each hails from Cuban families whose great-grandfathers ran a bakery together and then split off into their own businesses, each accusing the other of stealing recipes they claimed to have created. Lauren and Sylvie's rivalry is complicated by their attraction in high school. Once they are forced to work close-by for a food event, Sylvie decides to settle the feud by proving that her family was right and Lauren's family stole from them. However, in getting to know one another, each starts to question how much it matters.
Their banter was so good, full of sarcastic quips and quick wit. Their family relationships and friendships were each fully fleshed out with internal family drama and failed romances. It definitely made me hungry.
