Review: I loved the humour and the setting, I kept finding phrases I wanted to keep. As it went on it became more serious and introspective. Paris may have felt hopeless but there was hope and love and a feeling that there was light at the end of the tunnel. The bake off setting is priceless especially for a fan of a certain programme like myself. Read it in one sitting,total keeper. ??

Review: Paris Daillencourt is about to crumble by alexis hall I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to netgalley, Brown book group and alexis hall for the opportunity to read this book I'm going to give this a 3 which is .5 less than I gave the previous book set around bake expectations. I really enjoy the way the author writes these books. Dividing them into the weeks of the show and then the days to give a good timeline and focal point for the rest of the plot to work around. The main issue for me is that at certain points in time I found both main characters slightly irritating. Paris because he reminds me of my horrendously anxiety ridden self and tariq because it felt like he was a tiny bit condescending at times. This in turn made the romance aspect suffer for me in comparison to rosaline and harry. It pulled together in the end and I enjoyed seeing paris work on himself. I must admit this is one book where I would have been happy for the romance not to work out and Paris just to be spending some time working on himself with them just as friends. As a book that highlights anxiety it works well at showing people it's okay to need help. The book also contains representation of LGBTQIA+ and different religions, I'd suggest looking at reviews from people within those communities to see how they felt about the job the author did (this is something I plan to do myself) but I did enjoy reading a book with a romance between two male characters that doesn't involve a lot of sex and focused more on the emotional aspect. All in all I think the anxiety aspect of the story maybe hit a bit too close to home for me and that took me out of the enjoyment zone but it was an okay read and I'd read more in the series as I enjoy the way the books are setup.
