The bakeoff-inspired setting was so much fun and really well done. I highly recommend this if you like The Great British Bakeoff, it felt like reading fanfic of the show, but I mean that in the most positive way!
I think the heavier topics in this book were handled with surpricing grace, especially the classism, I didn't expect to see that being discussed with such nuance in a fluffy romance book and I appreciated that a lot.

Even if you didn’t love Boyfriend Material, I would recommend still giving this series a chance.

Extensive descriptions of food, like watching GBBO. SA and sexual content are very mild. Accidental pregnancy is a key plot point but occurs years before the book takes place.potatogrr's review against another edition

Hall does a really excellent job with pacing, everything is whip smart and witty, especially our MC Rosaline. She's honestly a badass (I will never understand how people have the energy to do anything on top of being a parent, it's such involved and hard work) but she's also so genuine. She's balanced, both flawed and fleshed out enough to feel human, like I could pop down the street and she'd greet me with a cup of tea.
Harry, our burly cinnamon roll love interest, is a man of few words who really goes all out with acts of service for those he cares about. There are so many times in this book that I highlighted and my comment is just "😭😭" because he's such a gentle and kind man.
Also, Amelie is the love of my life, and I hope one day she becomes a marine biologist who focuses on deep sea exploration.
