4.5

This book was a delight. It’s an almost closed door romance for people who like watching GBBO. There is a LOT of cussing, British-style, and discussions of part of the bisexual woman experience that don’t get enough attention (biphobia satisfyingly called out!) I laughed and cheered and cringed (intentionally). 
Even if you didn’t love Boyfriend Material, I would recommend still giving this series a chance.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Cursing

Moderate: Biphobia and Classism

Minor: Mental illness, Sexual assault, and Sexual content

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.
