Hilarious, fascinating, and inspiring. Those are the words that came to mind after finishing this book. I was impressed how the characters and storyline represented the value of simplicity and living life without caring what people say or think. Rosaline transitioned from being indecisive and overly concerned about other opinions into this person who knows her value and wants. I do love that. There were so many laughed-out-loud moments, and the story was very engaging! I highly recommend it!

Amusing, spirited, and entertaining! Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake is a playful, heartfelt, captivating tale that takes you into the life of the kindhearted, sweet Rosaline Palmer as she juggles motherhood, parental expectations, an unfulfilling job, a handsome new boyfriend, a fellow contestant with a heart of gold, and a cooking competition that could ultimately change her life. The writing is witty and crisp. The characters are supportive, dependable, and eccentric. And the plot is a lighthearted, sassy blend of life, love, family, friendship, self-reflection, happiness, romance, baking, tricky mishaps, and awkward situations. Overall, Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake is a humorous, uplifting, charming tale by Hall that I was lucky enough to be able to both read and listen to, and I can tell you they are both a delight. In fact, Fiona Hardingham does such a fantastic job of bringing all the quirky characters in this book to life, especially the precocious Amelie, who definitely steals the show, that I think, even though this typically isn’t the case, I might have even preferred the audio.
