So sweet!I love this story. I love that it surrounds a girl who hangs with the hockey team. I love that she makes cupcakes. I love how it's a budding romance in the making.So many great elements to this story, and while I loved The Summer of Chasing Mermaids, this story was completely different. Thi...

I’ve been wanting to read this book for, forever and I’m so glad that I finally got around to it. This book starts out with leopard print bras, tension filled car rides and walking away from things that you’ve always had in your life…and that’s all in the prologue. When I started the prologue, I kep...

I read the synopsis on this book and thought it would be about cupcakes. Not so. It's really about ice skating, high school, and living in a small town. Who knew?It's the story of a girl who is doing her best to deal with real life in a practical way. Hudson is one of the most angst-ridden prota...

-- Mini Review of Audiobook --I've had this book on my shelf since I got a finished copy at ALA Midwinter 2012. I'd heard great things, but I just hadn't gotten around to it yet. Then I read/listened to Ockler's

I have to admit, It doesn't make my list of top-faves. There wasn't enough Avery-Josh and/or Will action. But I did like the way it was written. How Sarah Ockler gave a perfectly happy ending in a way that wasn't predictable! I also loved all the cupcake stuff! (I'm now signed up for a cake decorati...

Well aside from the major sweet tooth I now have, I thought this was a pretty cute book. I would have liked to have seen more with Hudson and Josh, and less of Will. But overall it was a solid novel.My biggest issue with this novel, and why it's only a 3 star for me, is that so much of the book is f...
