The book started great, and I mean that the first chapter had every element for a great thriller but unfortunately the rest was not good. First of all this is not a thriller or a cozy mystery i don't even know what it is tbh maybe a fanfic about baking cuz all it talks about is the competition and the baking that's all and i know it's about getting to know the characters and to add suspense but the characters all felt flat and flawed (not in a good way) to me and it just dragged. In the first chapter we see that someone is dead but then nothing happens until the like %80 mark and then the ending is so rushed also the "mysteries" are so predictable. In addition to ending up being rushed, the conclusion made no sense and just left me with more questions it was just poorly written and not great thought i think. Also there is one thing that really bugs me is that a man uses a woamn for a one night stand and she gets heartbroken but then suddenly it is grooming by someone who she fell in love with ? i thought
Hannah was just using Archie to further her career
did i missed something
