All You Knead is Love by Tanya Guerrero

Alba's mom is sending her to Barcelona for the summer to spend time away while her mom figures things out with Alba’s abusive dad. Alba feels like she’s being thrown out, and doesn’t want to go stay with a Filipina-Spanish grandmother she barely knows in a country she doesn’t call home. But Barcelona offers more than Alba could have imagined. She meets new friends, including a supportive father figure who teaches her to make bread—something that Alba quickly falls in love with. But at the end of it all, Alba knows she’ll have to see her mom again, and figure out a way to fix their family. Could Barcelona just be the key to healing Alba’s broken heart?  

 

 This is the sweetest book you could read if you love stories about found family, learning to call a new place home, and of course baking. I fell in love with all the characters, who opened their hearts to Alba when she needed it most. Reading this book is like being wrapped in soft bread dough. It’s about healing, learning to love again, and finding a way to happiness. Highly recommend!
