I would like to thank both NetGalley and St. Martin's Press/Wednesday Books for allowing me to read and review this book. All opinions are my own.

Book Review:

This was a cute book. I enjoyed it and gave it 4 stars. This is about a young lady who has moved from New York with her parents to live in LA to help take care of her grandma. They run a bakery that the grandma used to run but is no longer able to do so. Chloe, the young lady, boyfriend has broken up with her by sending her a box with her stuff back with note stating he can't do a long-distance relationship. She is heartbroken and is about to throw away the box, but a school friend runs into, and they get to talking which gives Chloe an idea. The idea is to have an exhibit with other boxes about break ups. She is able to get a few boxes, and the exhibit does well, not great but good enough. Chloe thinks she is a failure because it doesn't go well. At the exhibit she meets another young man and at first, they don't get along because he isn't following the rules of the exhibit because he is filming and that isn't allowed. They do end up working together to make the next exhibit better. Along the way Chloe starts to have feelings for him, but he only wants to be friends because he doesn't want to be the rebound guy. They both have things they need to get over and work through. Do they end up together well you will have to read the book.
