I loved the writing style. I loved the plot especially the setting of it being on the Great bake which is the Great British bake off 100%. It was I reretibg to hear about the competition while having a romance happen at the same time. This id also a story of friendship. The power of standing up for yourself and being your true self and being fine with that and making others realize they need to be accepting and respectful.
The daughter in this is also super cute and that’s a great storyline of seeing Rosaline as a single mother and all the experiences that go along with that.
There were many many moments where I found myself snapping/clapping along at this book, nodding my head and smiling and also getting mad at certain characters. This book also made me watch the great British bake off and I highly recommend that for a
Multimedia experience.
I will read many more books by Alexis hall because to me this book was perfection .

Overall, this was fine. Not the new favorite I’d hoped it would be when I started, but not bad either. I’d recommend it, but there are other romances I’d recommend first/more. I’ll probably read the next one just because I’m curious, and these books are, at the very least, entertaining.

The sexual content and sexual assault tags are there separately; there are multiple, consensual sex scenes varying from mild to moderate explicitness. The attempted sexual assault was stopped and challenged. Emotional abuse, gaslighting and classism are all in regards to Rosaline’s parents, with the former two relating to their treatment of her and the latter to their opinions of others. Biphobia is also directed at Rosaline, but from side characters, and she challenges it every step of the way.amberinpieces's review against another edition
