Publisher's Summary
"[Lau's] trope-forward contemporaries are as sugary and irresistible as the desserts her characters create." (New York Times Book Review)
A baker provides the sweetest escape for an actor in this charming romantic comedy.
Actor Ryan Kwok is back in Toronto after the promotional tour for his latest film, a rom-com that is getting less-than-stellar reviews. After years of constant work and the sudden death of his mother, Ryan is taking some much-needed time off. But as he tries to be supportive to his family, he struggles with his loss and doesn't know how to talk to his dad — who now trolls him on Twitter instead of meeting him for dim sum.
Innovative baker Lindsay McLeod meets Ryan when he knocks over two dozen specialty donuts at her bakery. Their relationship is off to a messy start, but there’s no denying their immediate attraction. When Ryan signs up for a celebrity episode of Baking Fail, he asks Lindsay to teach him how to bake and she agrees.
As Lindsay and Ryan spend time together, bonding over grief and bubble tea, it starts to feel like they’re cooking up something sweeter than cupcakes in the kitchen.
What the critics say
"The book is a perfect example of how realistic personal stakes — say, your disappointed dad starting a dry but hilarious Twitter account to roast you in public—can feel world-shiftingly large in the right hands."—New York Times Book Review
"Anyone who loves baking and rom-coms will breeze through this flavorful read.”—USA Today
“Jackie Lau’s Donut Fall in Love has the perfect proportions of emotion, heat, family ties, and romance to make one absolutely delicious treat.”—Courtney Milan, New York Times bestselling author

Good Read
4.5 stars
This is a fun, entertaining, good read. Ryan and Lindsay are interesting, relatable, intriguing, wounded, complex, entertaining characters. I really enjoyed these characters and their romance. I loved the friendship and family aspects of the story and the roles they play in the main characters development. While both characters are dealing with loss and grief, Lau handles the subject realistically and compassion. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. The story is easy to read and get into. This story had me laughing, crying and swooning for the main characters.
I enjoyed the audio version of this book and the narrators.
