5 stars
And so the baking continues
Another very cozy and comfortable read which I've read in a day. Rather important for me because of the gorgeous, kind and unashamedly fat heroine.
The mystery part itself is again rather lacklustre.

It is, for me, a pure escapism - this building with these neighbours is exactly where I'd want to live if I could have lived anywhere. As escapism for a rainy day, it definitely deserves 5 stars.
