This was super cute! It has everything I love British Bakeoff, Grumpy-sunshine, competition, Royals, and sabotage. Dominic gave me major Simon Cowell/Paul Hollywood vibes. I loved reading how he opened up over the course of the book and how sweet he actually was. I would defiantly read this again if in the mood for a cute chick lit. This also ended perfectly for the opening to the next book.

this book had a unique and interesting set-up, excellent chemistry/dialogue between characters, and really stand-up imagery and character building.

if ur looking for a quality romcom that will have u genuinely laughing while also falling in love w the characters, i highly recommend this book.

i have read many romcoms in the past and this one really stands at the top simply bc of the interesting plot, characters, and quality story building.

there were a couple things i could see people finding fault in, specifically when it came to more cheesy romance aspects of the novel, but honestly idc because that's how much i liked it as a whole.

i just finished and i already want to re-read. so good..

Could not get into this but the fact that they didn’t even attempt to hide the fact that it’s such blatant Paul Hollywood fanfiction is CRAZY
