How to Eat a Cupcake by Meg Donohue
5.0
A cute story about friendship, family, and food.
I really liked this book! Both main characters were well-developed and I enjoyed seeing how they dealt with their problems and how their perspectives changed over time. The subplot with the vandalism was distracting at first but it tied-in very well at the end and gave the story a bit of mystery and unpredictability. The best part, of course, was the founding of Treat and all the descriptions of the cupcakes. I loved how the title was applied to the story in that each character ate cupcakes differently, which revealed an aspect of their personalities. I would've liked more exploration about the dynamics between hired help and the families they serve, which is briefly touched upon, but all in all, it was a very satisfying read.
