Most Anticipated YA by Goodreads! . "An earnest, charming coming-of-age story that will come for your heart and your appetite." -- New York Times bestselling author Emma Lord . Graduation is only a few months away, and Rubi Ramos's "recipe for success" to get into prestigious Alma University is already off track.. When Alma waitlists Rubi's application, Rubi will need to be distraction-free to make the grade and keep her parents -- who have wanted this for her for years -- from finding out. Which means falling for her cute surfer-slash-math tutor, Ryan, definitely won't work. And neither will breaking her mother's ban on baking -- her parents didn't leave Cuba so she could bake just like them.. But some recipes are begging to be tampered with.
