All's Fair In Love And Cupcakes (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Kat Varland is more than just chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry! Think more along the lines of gourmet raspberry lemonade torte! But, at Sweetie Pies Bakery, owned by her Aunt Maggie' gourmet is considered weird...and Kat is feeling stifled...by her Aunt and her parents. When her best friend Lucas, signs them for a reality TV cupcake bake-off contest, Kat is ready to reach for her dream!Humorous and inspirational, without being preachy, All's Fair in Love is a delightful confection... I wanted to love this book. I love books about baking because it is something I love to do. The cupcakes in this book sounded delicious and made me want to eat all of them. But the story left me wanting more than just cupcakes. I wanted some dialogue! This book was so frustrating! Most of this book was the thoughts of Lucas and Kat, who are best friends but have developed deeper feelings for each other. They're both too scared to tell the other though, so most of the book is the two of them thinking about how much they want to tell the other and wishing they could. It was so annoying. It became so repetitive that I started skipping paragraphs until I saw actual dialogue between characters, then I skipped more paragraphs. The book was mostly predictable too. I wish I had liked it more.
What do You think about All's Fair In Love And Cupcakes (2014)?
