This book represents new beginnings. Penny Lane’s new beginning is Hog’s Hollow, Michigan where her mother decides to open up a cupcake bakery while Penny’s life in Manhattan ends, she has to leave her friends, her modern lifestyle, and her Dad. But once school starts at HHHS she makes good friends and unexpected enemies. While her life is flipped upside down there are things that are hidden from Penny, like her parent’s divorce, and that her mother has old relations to this new place. But in such a small town, everyone knows everything, and everyone.
I loved this book, it shows me how you can get through tough times. The characters in the story had obstacles a lot larger then mine that they had to overcome. Penny has change. Tally has heart ache. Marcus has loss. And I have to pass a quiz. How ever big or small a problem is you have to face it. Whether it be talking to someone, taking charge, or being prepared. This book made me realize how you have to work through pain, and enjoy life wherever and whoever you are with.
So true, we all have to go through big and small problems but we can all do something to be prepared or even help someone else through a struggle. This book sounds really interesting and I think that the title fits YOU perfectly. I might just have to pick this one up!
ReplyDeleteTori, you made good points :). That is totally true. No matter how difficult something is, you have to work through it. You just have to remember (during more tough situations, life does go on. That's the most important thing :)
ReplyDeleteI love cupcakes so this title caught my attention right away! At first I thought what does the title have to do with the story and I would love to hear how you incorporate the title with the story. I think that it symbolizes that one little change and something that can seem so sweet can impact your life in big ways.....Melissa is completely right about knowing that life goes on. You always have to hold your head high and move on.
ReplyDeleteTori, i enjoyed reading you synopsis. At first the title through me off but once i started reading i realized that this might actually be a book i would like. I also admired what you said about faceing your problems which i find myself doing often this year, instead of ignoring them. I can't wait to read this book!
ReplyDeleteI loved your synopsis! Cupcake Queen seems like a really good book. It's funny how you incomporated your own problem, "And I have to pass a quiz." I have my own problems too, so maybe I could relate with the book. It sounds like the book has a good plot and I'm up for a good book that's worth reading, and I can't wait to read it.
