I once again have a lot of feelings about a book lol
So my main issues with this book were that it was ridiculously long for what is essentially a rom com and that the first love interest long overstays his welcome in my opinion - like I get that it’s kinda a slow burn but literally 70% of the way through the book Rosaline was still actively dating the first love interest which was kinda infuriating by the end 
I did appreciate that you slowly view him as more and more unlikable as the book goes on but gddamn did he have to stay for so long as a main character? 
— also I didn’t really like sex scenes in this - I know they’re not a main focus or anything but if you’re looking for a spicy book I definitely wouldn’t recommend this 
However I liked the premise and the baking storyline, I loved the bisexual rep and conversations around bisexuality in this, and really enjoyed most of the sorrounding side characters like Harry Anvita Lauren and Amelie
