Reni's Read Along: The Baby Dragon Café

only click "read more" if you don't care about spoilers please!

So this book is about a café owner training a hot guy's baby dragon. That's the plot.

I went into this with the expectation of the book being garbage (because my best friend Janchei told me it's garbage and I fully trust her judgement) but holy shit it's so bad, "garbage" doesn't even summarize it properly. It's garbage that's set on multiple fires, caused someone's house (or café, haha, get it?) to burn down and now their souls are haunting me.

So anyway let's get into it, shall we?

Day 1 of Reading The Baby Dragon Café

• So we're introduced to Saphira, our quirky female lead who starts out by complaining about her job. Okay, been there done that. Hating your job is relatable, I guess. So...

• then she rants about her sad backstory of having no family left since her grandma, who raised her, passed away. RIP granny, you died to make FL look deep for our sins and you'll be missed. Not by me, but you know. Someone's gonna miss her.

• Okay so FL runs her own café, doesn't fireproof it because "where's the fun in that?", SIGNS A WAIVER and then complains that the baby dragons destroy her café and she doesn't get insurance money??? GIRL what the fuck is wrong with you???

• I can already tell the lore is about to be good. So apparently, only special "Drakkon" families can own dragons, yet somehow every single customer has one lol? And none of them are trained?

• Oh great it's a double POV and Aiden is the average r/NiceGuy who's just too shy and awkward to be liked by anyone 👉👈

• Pheeeew the physical descriptions read like a fanfic I wrote when I was 11. Everyone is hot, naturally, and everyone shines and glitters and is radiant and smells like roses (FL) or wood (ML). Eeeek.

• Their "meet cute" was definitely not cute. But it was a meet, I guess, so it got the job done.

• LMFAO she changes her mind FAST lol. So she's like "I hate getting up early!" and then Aiden is like "I like getting up early because everything is calm" and she's then like "Omg I've never seen it that way you're totally right". Talk about being desperate or a people pleaser? The getting up early thing should have changed gradually and then be a nice callback maybe?

• The author is plugging her next books hard lol, get your bag girl

(The second book will be like "The Baby Dragon Bakery" starring FL's coworker/bestie (SHE'S LITERALLY INTRODUCED LIKE THAT!) Lavinia and her childhood friend Theo in a ✨️Childhood Friends to Lovers✨️ story and the third book will be "The Baby Dragon Coffee Roast Battle" starring Emmeline (Aiden's cousin) and her nemesis Luke in a ✨️Enemies to Lovers✨️ scenario. Amazing. Can't wait. Actually yes I can.)

• How can you open a business without knowing math??? Girl what are you doing????

• Drakkon families look down on poachers... uh yeh, because poaching is bad? Am I supposed to be in favor of poaching here?

• My last note for today is: Saphira is damn annoying with baby talking Sparky (the baby dragon) all the time. She's generally super cringey and irritating with her "I'm so cute and sweet and wanna hug everyone!"-attitude.

Jeeez I need a break.
