Baking Me Crazy is a friends-to-lovers story. Five years ago, Levi met Jocelyn. He saw her and he knew she was the one for him, she wasn't so sure. They've been best friends since, and he knows he's losing his chance to be with her but he also believes that his family is cursed with love-at-first sight and there won't ever be anyone else.
I think for the most part this was a cute read. I completely understood where Jocelyn was coming from, she had a relatable and reliable perspective. Her disability was well represented and I could tell the author put some real work into researching the limitations and possibilities. I think that the romance was nice especially since Levi was so good about it all, he was kind and patient and just seemed like a pretty decent person.
My issue was probably with how clunky the transition from friends-to-lovers really felt. I didn't see the issue of why Jocelyn wouldn't have considered it, it just felt like weird stuff for her to forget/ignore. And then after so long of ignoring it, I have to imagine the chemistry would be off there. I just didn't see the conflict so beyond the lack of conflict it just didn't feel they were all that meant to be until after they were together. So aside from the clunky transition, it was a cute romance, but it was hard to get into.
