Amazon Summary:
From the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material comes a sweet and scrumptious romantic comedy about facing your insecurities, finding love, and baking it off, no matter what people say.
Paris Daillencourt is a recipe for disaster. Despite his passion for baking, his cat, and his classics degree, constant self-doubt and second-guessing have left him a curdled, directionless mess. So when his roommate enters him in Bake Expectations, the nation’s favourite baking show, Paris is sure he’ll be the first one sent home.
But not only does he win week one’s challenge—he meets fellow contestant Tariq Hassan. Sure, he’s the competition, but he’s also cute and kind, with more confidence than Paris could ever hope to have. Still, neither his growing romance with Tariq nor his own impressive bakes can keep Paris’s fear of failure from spoiling his happiness. And when the show’s vicious fanbase confirms his worst anxieties, Paris’s confidence is torn apart quicker than tear-and-share bread.
But if Paris can find the strength to face his past, his future, and the chorus of hecklers that live in his brain, he’ll realize it’s the sweet things in life that he really deserves.
My Review:
10/10
This is going to be one of my shorter reviews, Other than the fact that I loved this book, there isn't much to say on it. I was sick with the flu, and needed a heartwarming book, this delivered, delivered on a cloche. Sweet and enjoyable.
The characters also felt relatable to an extent, and I love seeing characters that I can see myself in. One character is a creative person, who deals with anxiety, and just wants everything to go the right way. That captures my personality pretty perfectly, if I do say so myself. He only wants people to like him, and I understand. The recipe for a book is:
1 cup of drama
1/2 cup of romance
3 tablespoons of steam
3/4 cups of comedy
The perfect romance formula in my opinion.
