Shireen is crazy excited when she's selected to be a contestant on the first ever Junior Irish Baking Show competition! Much less excited to find out her ex-girlfriend, Chris (also the daughter of her parents' donut shop's biggest competition) is also on the show. But she's determined to make it a success despite that! After all, she not only wants to cook professionally, but also her family donut shop has seen brighter days and she knows her success on the show can bring in some much-needed new customers.
One of the fellow contestants, Niamh, seems really friendly (even though Shireen's best friend doesn't like the sound of her, but she's out of the country all summer and can't meet Niamh so Shireen takes her opinion with a grain of salt). The judges are AMAZING. The bakes are ones that challenge Shireen but she's also confidant she can do them with panache! And yet weird things keep going wrong. Is it possible that the show--and Shireen personally--are being sabotaged? And if so, by whom?
This was a delightful, fun YA novel set in a new Irish, teen version of GBBO so I knew it was right up my alley! And luckily it totally lived up to its premise and was a terrific distraction of a read.
This book is published by Feiwel & Friends, a division of Macmillan, my employer.
