The Donut Fall in Love duology by Jackie Lau pairs romance with baking and comedy. The first book follows Ryan Kwok, a Chinese Canadian actor whose career has stalled, as he signs up for a celebrity baking show. He enlists Lindsey Suen, a baker who runs her own donut shop, to teach him the basics, and their lessons turn into something more personal.
The Stand-Up Groomsman (2022) shifts to a new couple connected to the first book’s world. A stand-up comedian agrees to be a groomsman in a wedding where he barely knows the groom, and sparks fly with another member of the wedding party. Both books share Lau’s signature blend of humor, food, and Chinese Canadian family life, and they work well as a pair or as individual reads.
