Hall balances the adorable love story and witty narration with incisive critiques of classism and the fetishization of bisexual women. Harry, a gentle giant electrician whom Rosaline initially writes off as a "cockney fuckboy," soon proves his quiet decency and subtle sense of humor. It's a classic rom-com setup, but Hall upends expectations: the deception is swiftly and realistically revealed, and even as Rosaline enters a relationship with Alain, she finds herself bonding with contestant Harry Dobson. Alain is everything Rosaline thinks she should want, and to impress him she tells him a heap of lies about her life. On the way to the first filming, she winds up stranded with fellow contestant Alain Pope, an archly charming architect. Bisexual 27-year-old Rosaline Palmer, single mother to a precocious eight-year-old, goes on Bake Expectations in a desperate attempt to turn her life around. Hall (Boyfriend Material) does it again with this scrumptious, quietly subversive rom-com set against a Great British Bake Off style reality TV show. Yet as the competition-and the ovens-heat up, Rosaline starts to realize the most delicious bakes come from the heart.
Rosaline fears falling for Harry is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. 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. However, more than collapsing trifles stand between Rosaline and sweet, sweet victory. Winning the prize money would give her daughter the life she deserves-and Rosaline is determined to stick to the instructions. and Rosaline has just landed a spot on the nation’s most beloved baking show. 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. Rosaline Palmer has always lived by those rules-well, except for when she dropped out of college to raise her daughter, Amelie.
