3.5 rounded up probably. "Gilmore Girls" meets the "Great British Bake Off" in this contemporary rom-com from the author of "Boyfriend Material."

Rosaline Palmer can't seem to measure up. Her overachieving parents disapprove of every part of her life except her precocious daughter Amelie — keeping her best friend/ex, Lauren, in her life [confusing and misguided]; dropping out of university to raise Amelie [unnecessary and limiting]; working in a shop [beneath her]. What do you do when you can't measure up? Pin all of your hopes on a reality TV baking show [trivial] run by a high-strung, foul-mouthed producer [crass and low-class] and hope you don't fall flatter than a failed souffle. Or fall for the wrong guy while you're at it.

Speaking of measuring up — this didn't quite measure up to "Boyfriend Material" for me, which was one of my 2020 top picks for romance. I did really like the setting, most of the characters, and Rosaline's thoughts and conversations about her bisexuality, though.

Content Notes: sexual assault/attempted date rape, confrontation with biphobia, crude/frank discussions and humor (but only moderately steamy sex scenes)
