4.0

Humor, heart, and a perfectly scrumptious (yet spicy) ending!

I went into this book expecting a quintessential rom-com, potentially heavy on the lovey-dovey sweet side given all the baking.  

Instead I found a heartfelt book dealing with real life issues (anxiety, lacking confidence, loving yourself).  While the slow burn romance in this book is quite enjoyable (have I already mentioned that ending?! 🔥), the spotlight on Rosaline’s journey of self-acceptance is the true love story (and winner) in the book.  

But it’s not all earnest… there’s plenty of levity and an abundance of colorful British language!  The show’s producer, Jennifer, has some of the very best lines!  But it’s the scene in the farmer’s field that still makes me laugh.  

The ingredients that added that extra 👌🏻:
🧁Eclectic characters that seemed fully authentic
🧁Beautiful, organic friendships 
🧁Spotlight on mental health
🧁Well executed representation 

Much like a good British pudding, this book was a true treat.

‼️The second book in the Winner Bakes All series, Paris Daillencourt is About to Crumble, releases in just under two weeks on November 1st!  

Many thanks to @readforever for the #gifted copies.
