I loved this book! It had such great family dynamics and really showed how close friends can be considered family. Alba is struggling with her mom and her family and at first when she arrives with Aubela Lola she is afraid to let her guard down, afraid it isn't real. But as she gets to know her and starts to find her place there and at the bakery with Toni, and make some new friends, things start coming together.
There is mention of abuse, and alcoholism, but I think how it was handled was done really well.
I loved that Alba found herself in bread making and helped Toni with saving the bakery.
A really great middle grade read!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!
