Bake Believe by Cori Cooper – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Bake Believe by Cori Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this YA romantic comedy with a magical twist. Cat Anderson is a very likeable and realistic teenager who is happy with having a laugh with her friends and flirting with cute boys. Things become complicated for her when a scheduling mistake places Cat in a culinary arts class on her first day of 8th grade. It seems that ‘something’ happens when Cat bakes, something impossible or even magical. Cat’s not the only one in her family that this happens to, as her family have a big secret, one which is to fantastic to be real but can not be hidden any longer. This is a fun and lighthearted read which introduces some great characters, like the relatable Cat but also her friends and family all of whom bring something different to the story. The storyline is quirky and unique but it works and makes this novel a real page turner. I was hooked from page one and felt engaged with the characters and immersed in the story due to the descriptive narrative. An enjoyable and fun read.
