![]() ![]() As a consequence, I spent a large portion of my time while reading this book really trying to figure out why Hall wrote it that way. ![]() I was warned going in by multiple people (foremost, our own Emmalita) that, a) Rosaline spends a significant portion of time with The Wrong Guy, and b) He’s a royal shit-stain of a human being. If she just so happens to get involved with the smart, charming man she meets on the way to the show, well, that’s just a bonus. But this show is her chance to finally make something of herself and to gain some level of financial independence (she relies on her wealthy doctor parents quite a bit, and wishes she didn’t have to rely on them at all). Her general attitude about herself going in is that she is constantly making the wrong decision. We don’t need to see anything before that. The book actually starts on the first weekend Rosaline is set to be away from home at the baking competition, which I thought was super smart. Rosaline meant to become a doctor, but an unplanned pregnancy derailed that career choice and now she works in a shop, and bakes in her free time. Our heroine is Rosaline, a twenty-seven year old bisexual single mother of an eight year old daughter. ![]() So this is a romance set in a famous British reality baking show, very much like The Great British Bake Off. ![]()
