At forty-six, Sophie Bianco’s life is half baked―trapped in a controlling marriage and estranged from her critical mother. Her only solace? The Invisible Baker, her secret business helping overwhelmed moms create Pinterest-worthy moments.

When her mother’s death coincides with the last straw in her marriage, Sophie grabs her chance. Armed with divorce papers and her savings, she reclaims her childhood home. But freedom comes with complications: hoarder-level chaos, plumbing disasters, and an ex-husband plotting revenge. When her daughter announces an engagement that echoes Sophie’s own mistakes, the past threatens to repeat itself.

Desperate for income, Sophie takes a position as a pastry chef, finding unexpected sweetness in both the work and the charming restaurant owner. But as family drama and professional opportunities collide, Sophie must finally answer the question she’s been avoiding: Who is she when she’s no longer invisible?

My Thoughts:
There is nothing going right in Sophie’s life at the moment apart from her secret business that no one knows about. Then a death in the family brings Sophie back to reality and makes her realise she needs to do something about her life. A big change is coming for her and Sophie finds herself as a pastry chef, is this the way forward for Sophie? can she finally find her happiness? It was such a brilliant read to get lost in. You feel for Sophie with everything she has to go through but I like how Julie the author has written relatable issues that the reader may be able to connect with. I did not want to put this book down, I had high hopes that Sophie would find happiness, and it came in an unexpected way. It is about pushing your self to the limits and getting a second chance. I really enjoyed it.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
