Any Way You Slice It cover

Sieve. Measure. Mix … Win 

For Carrie Quinn, baking isn’t just a hobby: it’s her future.

Winning the Castlecreagh baking competition and becoming best young pastry chef in the country is the first step towards her dream. But when she and Dara Harte, handsome pastry prodigy and Carrie’s sworn nemesis, are both disqualified from the competition, it seems like her future has crumbled.

Unless the pair can find a way to bake together. Can they rise above their rivalry and complicated home lives long enough to succeed? Or are they a disaster waiting to happen, any way you slice it?

This is the most charming YA romance filled with humour, friendship, teenage trials and the yummiest food in a book! … This is just the loveliest YA enemies to friends story and I loved every page, it was joyous, tense, heart wrenching and celebratory!
