Following the recipe is the key to a successful bake. Rosaline Palmer has always lived by those rules—well, except for when she dropped out of college to raise her daughter, Amelie. Now, with a paycheck as useful as greaseproof paper and a house crumbling faster than biscuits in tea, she’s teetering on the edge of financial disaster. But where there’s a whisk there’s a way . . . and Rosaline has just landed a spot on the nation’s most beloved baking show.

Winning the prize money would give her daughter the life she deserves—and Rosaline is determined to stick to the instructions. However, more than collapsing trifles stand between Rosaline and sweet, sweet victory. Suave, well-educated, and parent-approved Alain Pope knows all the right moves to sweep her off her feet, but it’s shy electrician Harry Dobson who makes Rosaline question her long-held beliefs—about herself, her family, and her desires.

Rosaline fears falling for Harry is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. Yet as the competition—and the ovens—heat up, Rosaline starts to realize the most delicious bakes come from the heart. Comédie romantique Contemporaine Littérature et fiction Romance Comédie Sincère

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Hall does it again with this scrumptious, quietly subversive rom-com again . . . Hilarious, heartwarming, and grounded, Rosaline's story proves that happy endings look different from person to person."—Publishers Weekly
"Everyone needs to read this. Brilliance on every single page. Hilarious, witty, tender, and stunning. I love this book."—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners, on Boyfriend Material
"Hall is a dizzyingly talented writer, one likely to spur envy in anyone who's ever picked up a pen."—Entertainment Weekly
"Alexis Hall is the undisputed master of romantic comedy."—Jenny Holiday, USA Today bestselling author
"Every once in a while you read a book that you want to SCREAM FROM ROOFTOPS about. I'm screaming, people!"—Sonali Dev, USA Today bestselling author, on Boyfriend Material
"[T]he joyfully queer British romcom escape book I didn't know I needed. It's absurdly funny and swoonily romantic, with a sharp edge of wit and observation that keeps the story bounding along. An unbridled 'one-more-chapter-oh-no-it's-3am' delight."—KJ Charles, author of A Charm of Magpies series, on Boyfriend Material
"The writing is witty, and [the] chemistry is irresistible, but it's Hall's insights about trust and self-worth that set the story apart. This is a triumph."—Publishers Weekly on Boyfriend Material

Not surprised I loved this one so much. Alexis Hall is a master in writing real, relatable characters who call out others' BS as well as realize their own to grow as people. I adore Rosaline's journey to get to feel like a full person and a good mom at the same time. Loved Harry and the other characters too 💖

An absolute gem!

A hugely amusing not quite RomCom novel which follows contestants, in a version on the Great British Bakeoff, compete, flirt and negotiate with life and friendships.

You quickly work out who you are rooting for, and just wait for the titular character to work everything out. I thought it was going to have the massive miscommunication giving conflict trope (the Malawi bit) - but that is quickly dealt with.

BTW: don't read the PDF until the end as the book club questions are massive spoilers (but I want to be in the book club that discusses this one!)

Laugh out loud moments (and lots of them, I actually found my eyes watering with mirth, such as the tractor/bull debacle) but Hall also deals (without sledgehammering) issues of consent, bi-phobia, mental illness, fetishism, classism & mysogny.

In a novel with a lot of detailed characters I really think my favourite was the young, marine obsessed Amelie, and I found the offensive Jennifer so unprofessional that it pushed credulity that she was still in her job at the end of the novel.

The narrator was really good. Her voicing of Alain was perfect, as was Rosalie (and I wanted way more of Lauren).

At the end there was a teaser for another Bake Expectations novel, which I will be buying as soon as it comes out.

Fizzy, Funny & quite Fabulous
