Jules Burns is a lonely baker mourning the loss of his husband Andy. Teddy Cruz is a numbed-to-the-world accountant who accidentally stumbles into his bakery and, with the help of a mouthy baker's assistant, some good pastry, and Jules himself, rediscovers his deep connections to pleasure, to the world, and to his own heart. Sweet is also the story of how we tell stories-of what we expect and need from a love story. The narrator is on to you, Reader, and wants to give you a love story that doesn't always fit the bill. There are ghosts to exorcise, and jobs and money to worry about. Sweet is a love story, yes, but a story that reminds us that love is never quite what we expect, nor quite as blissfully easy as we hope.
