We Are Bookish: Spring Releases to Have on Your Radar

A delicious romantic comedy by the best-selling author of Boyfriend Material, perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston, Christina Lauren and Abby Jimenez. 

As an expert baker, Rosaline Palmer is a big believer in always following the recipe. She's lived her life by that rule - 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, but 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 recipe for disaster. Yet as the competition - and the ovens - heat up, Rosaline starts to realize the best quality bakes come from the heart....

Critic reviews

"A dizzyingly talented writer." (Entertainment Weekly)

"Joyfully queer, absurdly funny and swoonily romantic." (K .J. Charles)

"Brilliance on every single page." (Christina Lauren)

"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)

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

I genuinely ADORED this book. Alexis Hall has become one of my favourite authors. I hadn’t read reviews so I was pleasantly surprised when the book didn’t strictly follow the typical romance pattern. As I’ve become accustomed to with Alexis Hall books, low heat (though this one had more of a through a frosted window vibe vs closed door), and so much squee for all of the lovely characters.

If you’d like to be surprised by the book, stop reading now…
The following won’t have spoilers but will hint at what’s to come.

I had so much hate for Alan at least 5 chapters before Rosaline begins to thinks he’s an ass. I’m proven correct…the guy is the WORST.

I love Harry from the first moment. Like…BIG book boyfriend feels.

Jennifer - favourite side character. I would happily read volumes of her just being her...and yelling at people.

This was so darn tasty

How real and how not real the story get

I patiently waited for the release date knowing Alexis Hall would not disappoint. awesome characters as usual, the humility is great. Actually laughed out laud ... on a train... surrounded by bemused business types. the narration is spot on. if you enjoyed boyfriend material, Glitter Land and Waiting For The Flood, you'll live Rosaline's story.

genuinely hilarious
