A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow

Product Information

A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow is a tale so sweet, savory, and delightful that you'll long to travel, bake, and believe in the possibilities of love. And while I think my expectations were a little too high as I kinda got a little disappointed with this book.

Here’s my short review of my last read for 2020, A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow by Laura Taylor Namey. Midway through reading, I even got the baking-bug, and had to go and bake cakes—that’s how mouth-watering it was! I've been in my UK obsession phase at the moment, since I hate it here and want to move over there, or at least visit, but this definitely helped my obsession grow. The Wallaces don’t comment on my hibernation, and I find meal trays on the kitchen counter—bless them. A white UM t-shirt may have provoked my run, but my flight to England might as well have been booked by one Pilar Veronica Reyes.She gets her chance to show off her baking skills in the kitchen, gets a whirlwind tour of all the small town has to offer, and makes connections that make her feel warmer than the Miami heat. This is something that really frustrated me and I couldn't for the life of me fall in love with the rest of the book because of this.

Her life plan to take over at Panaderia La Paloma, her abuelita’s bakery, as a full-time head baker was cut short. My reading schedule has been positively dreadful recently (I haven't read in like over a month) and I have no desire to pick up a book.A heartwarming romance paired with a well-written setting add up to a satisfying read on multiple levels. I'm really triggered when authors, especially those promoting diversity use the name of the continent to mean one precise place.
