Giving baking lessons to a (very hot) actor so that he doesn’t completely humiliate himself on Baking Fail might be just the change she needs. She hasn’t been in a relationship since her father died, and she has found it difficult to make new friends. She loves her job, but is beginning to feel a bit stuck in life – all her friends are getting married, Noreen is on her honeymoon, and Lindsay’s new flatmate, Vivian, is polite but cool and unapproachable. Lindsay McLeod threw herself into baking after her father died seven years ago, and now co-owns the Kensington Bake Shop with her best friend and former flatmate, Noreen. After all, he is willing to pay for them. But he’s pretty sure he can convince her to give him baking lessons. (No, not even enough for Nailed It, a concept that makes my head explode just thinking of it.)įortunately, he knows someone who can – if by ‘know’ you mean ‘literally ran into her at the bakery she owns and knocked an entire tray of matcha tiramisu donuts onto the floor’. Baking Fail was one of his mother’s favourite shows, and if he wins, he will be able to donate the prize to one of her most beloved charities. When Ryan is invited to star in a celebrity episode of Baking Fail, a reality TV show with a strong resemblance to Nailed It, he can’t resist the opportunity. “When will you stop taking off your shirt and finish your engineering degree?”
His sister is preoccupied with her new baby and not coping, and his father responds to all his attempts at contact with grunts and questions as to why he is even calling.Įxcept on Twitter, where he has begun Tweeting as and providing helpful commentary such as: His mother was the connector in the family, the one who did the emotional labour of holding the family together, and without her, Ryan and his family are becoming unglued. But far larger in his life looms the recent loss of his mother, who died unexpectedly four months ago. His most recent film was a flop, and he is worried that he has now ruined things for every Asian actor who follows him. Ryan Kwok is an actor whose abs regularly trend on Twitter. I liked the way that it explored serious themes and messy family dynamics while still being a fun, sweet, and often light-hearted read. Archetype: Actor/Actress/Celebrity, Chef/Foodie/Bartender, Diverse ProtagonistsĬontent warnings: Loss of a parent, post-partum depressionĭonut Fall in Love is a funny, flirty, foodie romance which deals with themes of grief and family in a very honest and thoughtful way.
