![]() ![]() Why I ultimately knocked off a star – without spoiling anything, there is a love triangle element to this story that drove. I was as eager to find out who would get kicked off each week as Rosaline! Wholesome and British, yet bitingly witty. The baking show scenes were absolute perfection. If you enjoy the Great British Bake-Off, you’re going to adore this book. Rosaline is a bit of a mess, but she is so human and relatable it was easy to root for her – even when she was messing up. The secondary characters, including Rosaline’s daughter, ex-girlfriend, and the other contestants on the show, were equal parts hilarious and endearing. The dialogue and humor sparkle – there isn’t another word for it! It was delightful. It’s a comedy of errors when she tries to make it to the first filming, and she ends up stranded with a handsome fellow contestant. ![]() She needs to prove herself to her parents and herself that she isn’t a complete screw-up by winning a Great British Bake-Off-type show. ![]() Rosaline Palmer is a single mother on her last leg – she’s also bisexual – just ask her precocious daughter (lol!!). I set my expectations accordingly, and it helped me immerse myself in the story without undue frustration. ![]() I am so, so happy I was warned that this book was more general/women’s fiction than romance. I had a hard time rating this book, but Alexis Hall’s writing is so dang good, I just can’t give ROSALINE PALMER TAKE THE CAKE anything less than four stars. ![]()
