Blanca is running away. Away from her mother—the overbearing and strict Reina—and her mother's narrow idea of what shape Blanca's life should take. While Reina finds Blanca’s dream of pursuing fashion design a wasteful flight of fancy, Blanca sees possibility . . . and she knows if she doesn’t leave now, she might never. Of course, following your passion isn’t easy, and when Blanca arrives in New York City without a job or a roof over her head, she’s rescued by a kindly baker named Emile, who takes her in. With Emile comes his eclectic group of roommates, all living in the same brownstone, who welcome Blanca into their weird, wonderful world. Together, Blanca and her new chosen family discover that love and encouragement are key ingredients in the recipe for making your dreams come true.
"[A] heartfelt narrative, which humorously touches on coming-of-age tropes and the value of found family. Glamorous queer aesthetics, fairy tale optimism, and earthy sincerity uplift this breezy tale, which will appeal to fan’s of Ai Yazawa’s Paradise Kiss series." * Publishers Weekly *
"Spirited and inclusive, this is a fresh take on the coming-of-age tale." * Kirkus Reviews *
