I loved this book it has lots of great recipes (which is great for any beginning bakers) and this book also had a little bit of acting in this book. The acting was when Sophie did a commercial for Beatrice's Brownies which is Sophie's best friend (Isabell) baking companion and instead of telling Isabell about Sophie lies about it and says its for a raisin brand commercial. One day when Sophie and her mom ran into Isabell at the mall and Isabell mentions it and Sophie gets into trouble for lying to Isabell about it. (Review edited: Jan. 4, 2014)Sprinkles and Secrets: the title is cute, the cover is cute, the first book was cute: what's not to love?When you begin to read, you definitely think it's a cutesy, girly book. It is, but as you dig further you really see some morals and lessons being taught - to all the characters - throughout the book. I liked S&S more than It's Raining Cupcakes, simply because I can relate to Sophie a lot more.Well, Sophie. What can I say? She's a theatrical, dramatic girl who loves acting and singing. According to Isabel in the first book, "Sophie gets everything she wants. She wanted a dog, but her mom said no, so she did a lot of research until she found a dog that didn't shed. She got her Havanese, Daisy, after that. ---" so Sophie seems like a pretty determined girl.In this story, Sophie gets offered a real job in an advertisement. The catch? It's for Beatrice's Brownies, the ultimate enemy of It's Raining Cupcakes, Isabel's mom's cupcake shop. Sophie really wants to go for the advertisement (it's paid, and after that she'd get more offers) but she can't stand to betray Isabel. Soon there are the stereotypical misunderstandings and what-not. I loved Sophie's solution to her big problem because it's so.. moving, and it really shows her dedication to friendship and loyalty to Isabel. I mean, would you stand in the rain for four hours looking silly? Not every girl in books would do that. It's all about popularity, and the cutest guys and other shallow stuf. Not here. What's more, I LOVED Sophie's developing friendship with Austin and Dennis (especially Dennis!) So many times in books, the beginning of the book shows a girl being friends with a guy, in the middle the girl likes the guy but doesn't know how the guy feels, in the end they do whatever. In this book, Sophie's mad at Dennis in the beginning, develops a strange friendship in the middle, and is friends with him at the end. There's no dating or any mushy stuff - it's not even romantic - it's just friendship in it's truest form. And I like that.
What do You think about Sprinkles And Secrets (2011)?
A great book about friendship! Love, love, loved it!
