Hector helps him see the things he’s grown used to ignoring. His parents are caring but all Ari can see is how they’re getting in his way, while Hector sees them as a loving unit.Īs much as this is a romance between Ari and Hector, the book is more of a “coming of age” story for Ari as he comes out of his angry teen years and starts to step into his adulthood. There is a fine balance between Ari’s wants and the pressures on the family as a whole the bakery is popular but is only breaking even. It’s a real testament both to her skill as an illustratior as well as pacing and plot. Ganucheau’s art, rendered in monochromatic shades of blue, moves effortlessly.
Ari’s angst is juxtaposed against Hector’s joy and the pages of them getting lost in the art of baking have a wordless, lyrical lightness of touch. Bloom, like the title, is a gentle, flowing read.
