The Dos and Donuts of Love
Will Shireen find the recipe for love or disaster on the Junior Irish Baking Show? Delicious food, intense competition and whirlwind romance combine in this heart-warming queer YA love story for fans of Becky Albertalli and Simon James Green.
"Welcome to the first ever Junior Irish Baking Show!"
Shireen Malik is still reeling from the breakup with her ex-girlfriend, Chris, when she receives news that she's been accepted as a contestant on a new televised baking competition show. This is Shireen's dream come true! Because winning will not only mean prize money, but it will also bring some much-needed attention to You Drive Me Glazy, her parents' beloved donut shop.
Things get complicated, though, because Chris is also a contestant on the show. Then there's the very outgoing Niamh, a fellow contestant who is becoming fast friends with Shireen. Things are heating up between them, and not just in the kitchen.
As the competition intensifies, Shireen will have to ignore all these factors and more - including potential sabotage - if she wants a sweet victory!
