Reviews
"This joyful read with a cheerful protagonist also explores racism, fatphobia, and mental health with care. Cute, fresh, and endearing." --Kirkus
"The charming baking competition setting provides most of the fun and excitement in the story, and adorably punny chapter titles...bring added humor, but the text injects enough realism to keep the comedic elements this side of twee." -BCCB
"Deliciously funny and swoony, The Dos and Donuts of Love serves delightful slices of identity, community, redemption, and love. Adiba Jaigirdar delivers another pitch-perfect, must-have winner!" --Julian Winters, award-winning author of Running With Lions and Right Where I Left You "Simply flan-tastic. A celebration of queer love, being brown, fat bodies, second chances, and delectable desserts, THE DOS AND DONUTS OF LOVE embodies the warmth and comfort of binge-watching your favorite show. An absolute must-read for baking show addicts--with puns that serve as the icing on the cake." -- Crystal Maldonado, author of Fat Chance, Charlie Vega
"I flew through this! Mouth-watering food, a romance that had me squealing, and a fun premise with a twisty plot--it's everything I love in my rom-coms!" --Sophie Gonzales, author of Never Ever Getting Back Together
