Okay so yes, the guy is hot and the girl is beautiful but the script was terrible. First of all, the management company would have never allowed two businesses of similar sales to be side by side. He was a complete jerk to even open his shop right next door to hers knowing he was opening a bakery and would be stealing her business. Everyone was harping on her for being "crazy" but she was right and he WAS using HER family recipe. He should have apologized the second he realized and agreed to stop selling it. She should have gotten a lawyer if he did not agree to do so. Instead, she did a complete 180 as soon as he was the least bit nice to her and she bent over backwards to please him. It kind of gave me whiplash to be honest. She wasn't being paranoid, she was right but in the end it didn't really matter. I didn't really feel any chemistry between the two leads. She seemed almost desperate for him to like her and he seemed indifferent to her but accepted everything she offered. I didn't care for the mother character either. She didn't really seem interested in Collette. A mother who was self absorbed and stuck in her own childhood trauma that she wasn't very attentive to her child. Okay, that's enough. This is the standard meet, hate, insta love that leaves you cold and confused.
