Thank you to @readforeverpub and @grandcentralpublishing for my gifted copy of Paris Daillencourt Is About To Crumble for review!
Marianne Wolvercote, Wilfred Honey and Colin Thrimp are back for the latest season of the cooking show, Bake Expectations. The show we were previously introduced to in Rosaline Palmer Takes The Cake, though each can be a standalone read.
Paris Daillencourt is a competitor on said show, and filming the first episode consists of the decidedly non-bakery-approved move of smacking competitor Tariq in the face with a fridge door.
To paraphrase Tariq, Paris is both adorable and a hot mess. In the most charming way possible.
The humour and appeal of Paris Daillencourt (both the character and the shortened version of the title) are up there with Boyfriend Material. Which, if you're reading this, I'm expecting - nay, hoping - you're familiar with.
And as with the previous Alexis Hall books I've read, I just want to gush about this one. I love falling into the stories he creates, how he writes LGBTQIA relationships, culture and religion differences, and takes us into his characters through banter and self-doubt.
Recommended!
For release on Nov. 1.
