battle royal by lucy parker
I was really vibing with this one in the beginning. Sure, it was hard to feel like it wasn't ripping off of the great British bakeoff - but the characters were appealing, and I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers tropes.
I would've said it was the perfect book for me, and I was happy to read the last 10% of the book until it finished... but then I saw that I was only about 30-ish% of the way into the book. Alas, it started to drag for me and I couldn't finish it in the end.
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this advanced readers copy.
