Brown Sugar Divine's Bakery & Cafe is a title that is very dear to me as the author is very dear to me. It was an honor to have a friend trust me with beta reading their passion project. That being said, this review is honest and not written with any bias. 

This book is a study in being a young queer, who is also constantly online, trying to find out who you are as a person when the world just kind of sucks. It’s filled with tons of pop culture references that you’d only get if you were around for early 2000s and sort of recently today’s anime and music scene. I would say that this is a great book to read for Pride month, but we could be reading queer books year-round and they deserve to be celebrated outside of one month of the year.  

This was at times something that hit home in ways that I wasn’t expecting it to; the feeling of dread that someone gets when they don’t know what’s going to happen, but they’re dan sure it’s going to happen, the fear of your family not accepting you for who you really are because they expect something out of you that’s not achievable, not feeling like you belong you’ve never found yourself romantically or sexually attracted to anyone are themes that resonated with me and I’m sure lots of readers will understand as well. 

One of the things that I personally related to the most and can see others relation to is Chris and the way that he doesn’t know anything about himself; he’s twenty-four with no friends and close family who only goes from work to home, and then back again and has severe depression and anxiety. I feel like a lot of young twenty-somethings today have that missing piece where they’ve gotten this degree that they didn’t even want and now they’re just in limbo, afraid to be who they are in front of a parent’s love that’s very clearly conditional. His character is absolutely deserving of the growth that he has achieved. 

Brown Sugar Divine herself is such a sweet character that if I found myself in the presence of, I’d feel 100% at peace with it. She feels like the type of person who would braid your hair at a sleepover and make sure that you drank water and ate something when you go out drinking. She is totally her own person, separate from Johnny and should have gotten more screen time in my opinion; for it being a book about her and her bakery she wasn’t on screen enough. Her and Johnny working together to make things work is a cute little back and forth that just sort of makes sense. Johnny’s journey to being a homeless teen to a fully functioning business owner and performer is something that I would have liked to see, I love when we get to witness the character grow and become the characters we know at the end. It feels like while they were a good chunk of this story Johhny’s main point was to be the person to introduce Chris to this life that he builds up and I just would have liked to see more of them! Give me a whole other book about that, S.A. McClellon. 

This would have been a five-star read for me if not for all the music involved, because while I love a good musical my least favorite thing in a book is when music is a huge focal point, and this has a lot of that. The drag scenes were fun, and I imagine that if I were to ever go to a drag show (a shame that I haven’t honestly) it would be just like this. For a story about a bakery there was not enough baking for me. Other than that; this is a cute, fun read about finding yourself in a community where finding yourself is celebrated and has strong themes of found family.

Grover manipulating ares in that therapy session by pretending to hate kids and rolling his eyes as if he isn't just a single mom working tirelessly to stop his kids from murdering people on accident.

Just everyone thinking he's so peaceful and sweet and it takes 0.00001 seconds to commit psychological warfare with the GOD OF WAR HIMSELF.

Percy, pointing at Luke: is he the bastard orphan?

Thalia: the son of a whore dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot?

Annabeth: is he by providence impoverished? the founding father without a father?

Grover: did he get a lot farther by working a lot harder by being a lot smarter by being a self starter?

Rachel: did he struggle and keep his guard up and inside was he longing for something to be a part of?
