Hennepin County Library paperback 305 pages
genre: Christian realistic fiction
This was nice, but a little boring. Most of the conflict was the main character's insecurities and doubts. Kat Varland and Lucas Brannen have been best friends for about a decade (teenagers to mid-20s). They're both super nice and smoking hot, but the new "feelings" they each have for the other are ignored because they don't want to ruin their friendship. Sigh. Cupcakes and an LA competition, some snarky people, yada yada. Book club discussion is tonight. It will be interesting to hear others' reactions. I am tempted to recommend it to Stacie just for all the baking (and a recipe at the end that looks really good).
page 139 - "What if her destiny, God's plan for her life, was to remain at Sweetie Pies? What if she was already living out her calling and just needed to be content where God had placed her? Put aside her dreams, put aside her desires, and bloom where planted?" I can relate to wondering if I'm following God's plan or not!
page 305 - I hated that the story ended with her smashing a cupcake into his face. Really?! And he had made it for her all by himself. That's just rude.
