"This is the best kind of romantic tale: innocent and unfussy,
yet overwhelming. Author Panetta's story is baked to perfection: a
crush that turns to infatuation--and later love--in the confines of
a professional kitchen bristling with hot stoves, stuffed shelves,
and perfectly shaped spanakopita." --Los Angeles Review of
Books"Panetta and Ganucheau's graphic novel debut is as much a love
story between people as it is with the act of baking. Ganucheau's
art, in black ink with varying shades of blue, mixes traditional
paneling with beautiful double-page spreads of detailed baking
scenes, where the panels sometimes take on the shape of braided
loaves...A tender blend of sugary, buttery, and other complex
flavors that's baked with a tremendous dash of heart."--Kirkus,
starred review
"Beautiful artwork depicts characters coping with life's increasing
responsibilities and is especially sumptuous when focusing on the
yummy desserts. This is both a delicious foray into the world of
baking and young love and an endearing, realistic tale of two teens
helping one another grow. -A fresh take on the coming-of-age story
that spotlights the triumphs and travails of young
people."--School Library Journal, starred review"Bloom is a
charming and compelling look at the first summer after high school,
with the angst of choice and decision looming and the blush of
first love. (Plus: there's baked goods!)"--Melissa Fox,
Watermark Books, Wichita KS
"Illustrator Ganucheau's black, white, and blue art is drawn
in a simple, naturalistic style with manga-adjacent expressions
that suit the story...a pleasantly diverse cast and realistically
varied relationship dynamics from Panetta (Zodiac Starforce) offer
a thoughtful look at how one grows into and out of relationships,
with all the commensurate joy, awkwardness, and reconciliation that
family and friends offer." --Publishers Weekly
"A quiet, earnest romance with warmth and depth."
--Booklist
