Why read it?
1 author picked The Devine Doughnut Shop as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I like multigenerational stories where characters are conflicted over traditions from the past. The donut shop has been in the family for generations. The current generation works together despite bad relationships, unruly teenagers, and town gossip.
I like books where food is a big part of the story. The secret donut recipe is closely guarded and sets up a romantic conflict of interest with someone wanting to buy the shop. It’s a sweet small-town story with everyday ups and downs of life.
