After her father’s death, Lottie’s life feels out of balance. When the school suggests she join a Bake Club to rebuild confidence, she reluctantly agrees—only to find herself drawn to the kitchen, to her classmate Mac, and to a web of lies she must keep alive. The chapters begin with a new baking recipe, hinting at the central role of pastry as both comfort and plot device. As the end‑of‑year Bake Off draws near, Lottie must juggle the facades of her “perfect” life, the budding romance with Mac, and the secret she is determined to protect.
