"If you, like me, spent the better part of last winter cocooned in blankets while watching kindly British folks whisk up delicate pastries in the countryside, this one is for you. Rosaline Palmer is a lovable single mom who enters a familiar-sounding baking competition in the hopes of changing her life – and finds a little romance along the way! This book, with its bake-off archetypes, laugh-out-loud banter and charming love interests, is downright delicious. It’s not a spoiler to say that the book mostly stays true to its real-life Great British Bake Off parallel with one deeply satisfying upgrade: The bakes don’t take place in a &$%ing tent."
