Too often in young adult novels, the relationship between gay characters focuses on the physicality of their relationship rather than the emotional intimacy, making it mature in content and less accessible to all readers. Ari realizes that moving away might not be his dream anymore, but he’s not sure whether it’s because he has learned to love his life or because he’s learned to love the soft-hearted young man that he’s working beside. But as Ari spends time with Hector, his upcoming move to Baltimore seems much less appealing. Hector is great in the kitchen, fun to be around, and quick to learn the family recipes. Luckily, he finds Hector, who is passionate about baking and looking for something to do while he’s taking a break from school. Ari’s friends and bandmates want to move to Baltimore to start a music career, but Ari knows he can’t leave his parents behind without finding someone to help out with the struggling bakery. Working at the family bakery is all he’s ever done, and he’s ready for a change.
