The tenth book in a delicious series by New York Times bestselling author Sheryl Berk and her cupcake-obsessed daughter, Carrie. When Delaney's parents pressure her to quit PLC, things start to get sticky. Can the PLC manage to stay together? When Delaney discovers there's been a cut to the art budget, she decides it's time to make a change! The race for class president is quickly approaching, and Delaney's going to run. Her besties in Peace, Love, and Cupcakes are ready to help however they can. But when Delaney's demands start infringing on PLC's ability to get out their orders―and the girls' friendships―things start to get out of hand. The girls aren't sure Delaney really knows what it takes to become president…or whether she's running for the right reasons. As the election approaches, will it be Delaney for president? Or will her campaign―and the PLC―crash and burn?

The way that the two fifth grade presidential candidates compete fairly and become friends in the end was encouraging, but still realistic kid behavior. My complaint is that there seemed to be too many plots going on at once, and so much girl-drama that I kept forgetting who was mad at who and why. Everyone was kind of a brat and I wasn't really rooting for any of them to get what they wanted.
I loved the cupcake recipes at the end and will totally make them.
I like the idea of the series and will probably read another just to see if I'm being too hard on this one.
I received this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
