If reading about delicious baked goods makes you hungry, there are even recipes for cake pops in the back. The mean girls aren't totally mean (and can even be nice on occasion), and the good girls aren't entirely good. Even though this is a fun, light-hearted read, I liked the fact that none of the characters were completely one-sided. There is so much to love about this book: star-crossed lovers who fight as much as they flirt, best friends who stick together through thick and thin, mean girls who stoop to low acts of revenge motivated by jealousy, a loving family who doesn't always see eye-to-eye. Who's cake pops while rise to the challenge of a bake off as the competition between the two stores heats up?
To complicate matters, the owner's son Dane McGuire is the dreamiest boy to ever walk the outdoor halls of middle school, and he likes to bake. Then Perk Up, a fancy coffee chain, opens a new store across the street.
but she can't convince her traditional father to try something new in the bakery. It's a good thing since her father owns Say It With Flour, a local bakery. There's not much beach action (though one memorable scene does take place at a pool party), but Oak Canyon Middle School is smack dab in the middle of sunny Southern California.Īli Ramirez lives to bake. She now lives in Ridgefield, Connecticut with her family.Īre you looking for the perfect book to take to the beach or to read sitting beside the pool? Suzanne Nelson's Cake Pop Crush is just the book for you. She was born in New Jersey, grew up in Southern California, attended college in Texas, and spent eight years as a children’s book editor in New York City.
She is a shameless fan of “The Sound of Music,” Hershey’s kisses, Charlotte Bronte, and Jane Austen, and can often be caught daydreaming of romping about gothic castles in lovely Victorian gowns. Her first published novel was The Sound of Munich, followed by Heart and Salsa, The Ghoul Next Door, Cake Pop Crush, and Dead in the Water. When she was seventeen, she filled four journals with her handwritten first novel, titled “The Dream Keeper.” To escape her chores, she often lied to her parents about what time her shift started at the local fast food joint so that she could spend an extra hour writing in the parking lot in her mom’s faded Buick. When she was in kindergarten, Suzanne Nelson jotted down in a school keepsake album that she wanted to be a “riter.” Though she clearly had issues with spelling, she persisted, composing cryptic poems about rainbows, fairies, mud, and even "Star Wars" in spiral notebooks all through elementary school.
