Half-Baked Love

Author : Dr. Pooja Darda

In a world that loves to label women, Radhika Gupta has earned more than her share—divorced, single mother, too bold, too broken. But she’s also something they didn’t see coming: unstoppable.

Half-Baked Love is a sharp, funny, and deeply moving story about starting over, standing tall, and stirring up a new life—one cinnamon roll at a time. Once a high-flying marketing head, Radhika’s world shatters when her husband trades their vows for his secretary. Left with a toddler, a broken heart, and a mountain of self-doubt, she does the only thing she knows how to do—she bakes. What begins as a desperate distraction soon rises into Cinnamon Bliss, the most beloved bakery in her Pune neighborhood (and maybe the most DM’d account on Instagram by confused admirers).

Between juggling cake orders, battling judgmental aunties, and fielding unsolicited love offers from men who clearly skipped the “boundaries” chapter in life, Radhika is doing just fine, thank you very much. Until Nakul Malhotra walks in—suave, sincere, and shockingly good at both business and listening. Just when she swore off love, life offers her a second serving.

Told with biting wit and heartfelt honesty, Half-Baked Love is not just a love story. It’s a story about resilience, motherhood, and the magic of choosing yourself—even when the world doesn’t. Perfect for anyone who’s ever laughed through tears or started over with shaky hands and a hopeful heart.
