A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown
3.0
The story she tells is amazing--being bounced from foster home to foster home, being molested and abused, joining a gang, getting sober, and eventually going to college. It's really an uplifting tale about how people can achieve things when they try.
My problem with this book, though, is the way it's written--there are times when it gets VERY repetitive and her prose definitely leaves things to be desired. In the beginning, I thought about just putting it down and never picking it back up because the way she writes reminds me of the way high school kids write. But her story was so interesting and so engaging, that I couldn't help but finish. The author herself is an inspiration.
