Plot-wise, this was a very enjoyable, if somewhat predictable, romance perfect for anyone who likes GBBO. That said, I felt that Rosaline's emotional growth added depth that I really appreciated! From the start, Rosaline stands up for others, particularly her daughter, but struggles to speak up for herself and her dreams. We see her figure out what she wants, learn to recognize (rather obvious) red flags in others, and pursue her goals even when they don't match with what's expected of her by her parents or society at large. Love this journey!
