Salt and Sugar by Rebecca Carvalho

 


“The grandchildren of two rival Brazilian bakeries fall in love despite their families’ feud.


Trust neither thin-bottomed frying pans nor Molinas.


Lari Ramires has always known this to be true. In Olinda, Brazil, her family’s bakery, Salt, has been at war with the Molinas’ bakery across the street, Sugar, for generations. But Lari’s world turns upside down when her beloved grandmother passes away. On top of that, a big supermarket chain has moved to town, forcing many of the small businesses to close.


Determined to protect her home, Lari does the unthinkable—she works together with Pedro Molina to save both of their bakeries. Lari realizes she might not know Pedro as well as she thought—and she maybe even likes what she learns—but the question remains: Can a Ramires and a Molina truly trust one another?” - taken from Goodreads.


This book is another Romeo and Juliet retelling that involves rival bakeries in Brazil. A good read that can be frustrating at times between the pacing and the location.
