Summary

Paris Daillencourt is a recipe for disaster.

Despite his passion for baking, constant self-doubt has 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.

And yet, not only does he impress the judges and win week one's challenge - he also catches the eye of fellow contestant, Tariq Hassan. Sure, he's the competition, but he's also incredibly cute with more confidence than Paris could ever hope to have.

But when the show's vicious fanbase confirms his worst anxieties, neither his growing romance with Tariq nor his success in the competition can keep Paris's fear of failure from spoiling his happiness.

If Paris can find the strength to face the chorus of hecklers that live in his brain, he'll realise it's the sweet things in life that he really deserves.

Critic reviews

"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)

"The undisputed master of romantic comedy." (Jenny Holiday)

"A tasty tale that most Bake Off fans could get their teeth into." (Sunday Post)

Brilliant storyteller, and a fun story. Let down by the protagonist.

The reader of this story was so fun and had such dynamic voices you could always tell who was talking. The story made sense and is very easy to wrap your head around. The only thing that let it down was that the protagonist was SO whiny and annoying. It's explained why he thinks everyone and everything is going to go wrong but it's such a caricature that it's a bit grating after a while. Still a good book, I always enjoy Alexis Hall.

Deeply Annoying

I've previously enjoyed the author's books, but have been really struggling to finish this one. The main character is not particularly likeable, and almost entirely lacking self awareness, but I think would be tolerable if it weren't for the narration. Every character sounds annoying, whiney, and/or stupid. It would be much better if the narrator stopped trying regional accents, who all sound like someone making a bad joke that has everyone outside of middle class South East England being a moron as the punchline.

Not for me.

I had to stop after only 16% of the book. Paris was driving me crazy. Sooooo many’s “I am soooo sorry”.
