Donut Fall in Love

Donut Fall in Love

Jackie Lau

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A baker provides the sweetest escape for an actor in this charming romantic comedy. Actor Ryan Kwok is back in Toronto after the promotional tour for his latest film, a rom-com that is getting less-than-stellar reviews. After the sudden death of his mother and years of constant work, Ryan is taking some much-needed time off. But as he tries to be supportive to his family, he struggles with his loss and doesn't know how to talk to his dad—who now trolls him on Twitter instead of meeting him for dim sum. Innovative baker Lindsay McLeod meets Ryan when he knocks over two dozen specialty donuts at her bakery. Their relationship is off to a messy start, but there’s no denying their immediate attraction. When Ryan signs up for a celebrity episode of Baking Fail, he asks Lindsay to teach him how to bake and she agrees. As Lindsay and Ryan spend time together, bonding over grief and bubble tea, it starts to feel like they’re cooking up something sweeter than cupcakes in the kitchen.

    This book is cute and I think that's fine. 

    I've learned that the baking trope / baking show trope is very much not for me. I don't know why it's just not something that appeals to me.

    The ML Ryan - adorable. Multifaceted. Makes you feel for him.

    The FL Lindsay - omg she is so boring and so NOTHING. Why does he like her? She has nothing interesting about her besides her dad dying. And that she likes a bar that serves weird beer. That was a bummer. By the end I was almost skipping her chapters entirely. 

    <spoiler> Also the Act III breakup is a little forced. It's not too bad but meh </spoiler>

    I will definitely read the sequel though. I'm really looking forward to reading a book with a ML who isn't a God of attraction
