Do you love Cupcakes ?
Personally, I'm not a Cupcake person myself but I adore the pretty patterns and the amazing cupcake art that some people can pull off , it really is truly amazing.
Review: The Cupcake Queen - Heather Hepler - September 2009
It makes me think that there are a few authors out there obsessed with the Beatles as The Cupcake Queen is the second book I have read that the main female character's name is "Penny Lane", the first was The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg.
In The Cupcake Queen , we meet Penny Lane who has moved to the small town of Hog's Hollow from the big city of Manhattan . In Hog's Hollow , Penny's mum opens up a bakery selling only Cupcakes , the bakery named "The Cupcake Queen". Penny wishing she could go back to old life and hang out with her friends hasn't taken the move lightly and when Penny assists her mother on a job in their new hometown , Penny makes an enemy for her school lifetime - Charity , the upside that comes from Charity though is that Penny meets a group of new and awesome friends including Tally , Blake and Marcus . About 3/4 the way through the book ,we read as Penny starts to find her way and form a future for herself in Hog's Hollow when she receives news regarding her parents that will force Penny to make a choice, to stay with her friends in Hog's Hollow or return to her old life in Manhattan?
What will Penny Choose ?
The Cupcake Queen by Heather Hepler is definitely what I would call a Pink Lit novel as is extremely fluffy , low calories and easy to digest. A sweet novel for Girls aged 13+ and a step away from the movement of Vampires to Dystopian - the Dark Fiction.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
