SOLVED. HYA Fantasy? Lemon tree- lemon pie cover. About a girl who bakes lemon meringues for the king I think. [s]

[Hope]

There’s a book I started reading a while ago but I have forgotten it. I remember the book cover was really pretty. I’m not 100% sure but I think it might have been a lemon tree on the cover or maybe a tree with lemon meringues or pies on the cover.

The story from what I remember is the main girl could bake the lemon pies/ meringues. She made it for an event. I’m not sure if it was for the king or the prince but it was for the royal family or they was some connection there.

The year I read this is probably 2 years ago to maybe 5/6 years ago. I think.

The genre is YA fantasy, maybe YA or maybe fantasy.

Was it set in a fantasy world, or our world with fantasy elements? Modern or historical setting?

[Hope]

I think it was set in a fantasy world and it wasn’t historical.

What about Heartless by Marissa Meyer? It’s a fantasy novel with a beautiful cover (don’t remember anything lemon related on it though, although some covers have vines or leaves) and in one of the first scenes the main character is making lemon tarts for the king’s party.

Heartless for Charlotte's link.

Thank u guys, it was heartless. I found the first few pages online and this is the book. Lol they were talking about the lemon tree and lemon tarts in the book. I must have mistaken that for the cover.

Thank you, it was bothering me that I didn’t remember it.

No problem, glad to help!
