This book hits close to home for me as someone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I really identified with Paris as he spiraled and talked down on himself, without realizing that there was anything wrong with his behavior. The accuracy of it all really hurt (in a good way, I promise). It can be frustrating watching someone with such potential just flail about, and I often found myself frustrated with the book. However it's realistic to my (and many others') experiences. And for me, baking shows tend to be my anti-anxiety happy place of television so it was fitting that we see Paris thrive in such a place.

This book is definitely more of a contemporary than a romance, though I did enjoy the flashes of it that we do see. I recommend this for people who love baking shows and enjoy reading about mental health in books.
