Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this advanced eARC for an honest review.
I didn’t like this one.
There were too many subplots going on that I think took away from the main plot.
Sylvie and Jack
Dominic and Pen
Jessie and Patrick
Rosie and Johnny
The Royal cake competition
The Operation Cake show
Sylvie and Dominic
This focused way too much on the baking show which brought nothing to the story. I also think a more entertaining story would have been forcing Sylvie and Dominic to design the royal cake together, forcing them in proximity, which is how they end up together.
The writing style didn’t work for me either. There were too many references to British pop culture that I had no clue about since I’m not from England.
