Summer of a Thousand Pies. By Margaret Dilloway

This book was so good! When I first found it I was super excited because I love baking, and when I find books that include that in the story I know I have to get them. This one did not disappoint. The baking aspect was a huge part in the storyline which made me so happy. It also included recipes in the back which is AMAZING. I love when books have recipe cards at the end because you can make them and almost feel like you are in the story. I have yet to make one of the pies but I will surely do so in the near future. Apart from the baking part of it, Summer of a Thousand Pies also takes place in a small town. Although books set in big cities and places like that are good, I especially enjoy books about small, lesser-known places. Plus, this book has a lot of great representation. Firstly, one of the main character's best friend has celiac disease which isn't often featured in books. Also, a few characters in the book are actually undocumented immigrants and that is an important topic as well. Overall, this book was a big win for me personally, and I think a lot of other people would enjoy it too.

Summary:
