This book was adorable with just the right amount of angst to keep me invested right through the end. Ari has been told his whole life that some day he will take over his family bakery. This is not the life he wants. Enter Hector, the cute boy who bake like there’s no tomorrow. This book is such a slow burn and I am so here for it. I wanted them together the first glance on the page and yet there’s so much going on here. Hector loves to bake, Ari wants to get away from it. These boys are so soft and I am here for it. I adored the art in this book. The line work is so clean and the monochrome blue just presents beautifully. Expressions come across clearly and the art enhances and tells much of the story. Also I spent this whole book hungry and immediately wanted to make the recipe in the back of the book. Dang not having starter! Review: Great book, very heartwarming & relatable! - I absolutely loved Bloom! It was such a heartfelt graphic novel about love, self-discovery, and figuring out where you belong. The story follows Ari, a teenager stuck between chasing his dream of making music in the city and staying home to help his family run their bakery. Things change when Hector, a new hire, comes into his life, and their sweet connection starts to grow. The art is so expressive and perfectly captures the emotions of the characters and the warm, cozy vibe of the bakery. This story really hit home for me—it’s such a beautiful reminder of how messy but meaningful growing up can be. If you love stories about love, family, and finding your way, you’ll adore Bloom. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #213,344 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #102 in Young Adult Romance Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,160) | | Dimensions | 6.15 x 1.05 x 8.5 inches | | Grade level | 7 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 1626726418 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1626726413 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 368 pages | | Publication date | January 29, 2019 | | Publisher | First Second | | Reading age | 14 - 18 years | ## Images ![Bloom - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1SukPoxEjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Sweet (and not just the bread) *by C***N on April 3, 2019* Oh, my gosh. This book was adorable with just the right amount of angst to keep me invested right through the end. Ari has been told his whole life that some day he will take over his family bakery.

(spoilers ahead) *by A***R on March 3, 2019* Overall, this book was very enjoyable. I can tell that the writer and artist had a lot of fun working on this book, and I had a lot of fun reading through it. The art is gorgeous, the dialogue is perfect for a group of teenagers/young adults just being themselves, and Hector is a precious gift. I laughed every time Ari made a funny face or reminded myself of me, past or present. For me, this was a story about the struggles of going into the adult world and trying to find you place in the world, which I'm also going through (though to a lesser extent than Ari). However, I was left unsatisfied about certain aspects of the story. I wish that I could have learned more about Hector as a character. What I did learn about him I enjoyed, but I wanted to meet his parents when he left the bakery to go home, I wanted to know how close he was to his Nana, I wanted to know if he wanted to own a bakery himself in the future or if he wanted to do something else with his culinary training. I didn't get any of that. I also felt like the ending was rushed. Ari definitely still had room to grow after his apology to Hector in August, as did their relationship. I feel like, after Ari just let Hector get fired, he needed to do more to make up for it than just apologize and then ask why Hector would forgive him. He still had room to grow from this point in the story, but I feel like that was all glossed over to get to the point where everything was okay. I wanted to see their relationship recover from the blow that was the bakery burning down, I wanted to see them decide to start dating, I wanted to see how Ari reacted to Hector's decision to go back to school, especially considering how Ari reacted when Hector left the first time. That moment, in particular, could have shown me how Ari has changed, because I can tell he was trying to take in his father's advice of, "Don't try to be what you think you should be. Be what you love," to heart. It's just not something that's shown, it's more told to me at the end when all Ari has to say to Hector is that he's glad to see him. Heck, I feel like the months that weren't covered in the haste to get to the end could be their own book, showing the two of them growing closer and more comfortable with one another and furthering Ari's growth as a character. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bloom - The Girl from the Sea: A Graphic Novel - Northranger --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/103693480-bloom](https://www.desertcart.be/products/103693480-bloom) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
