Join Trisha and I! :D

yay! so excited! I've had this one checked out from the library many times. I'm excited to finally read it! :D

I am excited as well! :D

Off topic but one reason I hate the readathons: The next day I am so tired and sick of reading! I haven't read a page today! :(

I loved this book.

OMG! LOL! That's great! :D

I will pick this one back up soon. Super excited!

10 chapters in

Wolves (view spoiler)[ she really whooped them into shape! that's awesome! (hide spoiler)]

Josh (view spoiler)[ ugh, I love him. he's so cute and sweet. I wonder who Abby is... :( (hide spoiler)]

Will (view spoiler)[ bleh. I think he's kind of...slimy? it sure feels like he's using hudson just to make kara jealous :( (hide spoiler)]

Dani (view spoiler)[ she's so cute too! I love her! she's a great friend (hide spoiler)]

Kara (view spoiler)[ She kind of sucks. Maybe she's a better friend when she's nice?? (hide spoiler)]

Mom (view spoiler)[ I hate that she's being roped into even MORE work with her mom. it's unfair to put so much responsibility on her!! (hide spoiler)]

bug (view spoiler)[ I loved when he and Josh were talking. lol (hide spoiler)]

gah, and these stupid cupcake recipes! YUM! all her cupcakes are making me hungry! LOL!

LOL! I was totally enthralled with One and Only Ivan yesterday! I will focus on this one today! :D

okay 15 chapters in

nope...I still (view spoiler)[ don't like Will (hide spoiler)]

and still (view spoiler)[ Love Josh
but seriously, who's Abby?? (hide spoiler)]

Bug (view spoiler)[ I love that kid. poor guy :( (hide spoiler)]

thru chapter 20
OMG! FINALLY! LOL!

Will (view spoiler)[ OMG when she said josh instead of Will!!?? YIKES!!! but I loved it! about time she figured it out (hide spoiler)]

Dani (view spoiler)[ I'm kind of sad with her right now. I don't understand how you ditch a friend over a month of her being busy :( (hide spoiler)]

Kara (view spoiler)[ I'm glad they talked but....just...ugh. I agree with her warning about Will though. his dodgy "I can't tell you" stuff just isn't making me feel more warm and fuzzy about him (hide spoiler)]

Josh(view spoiler)[ seriously, this guy is awesome! Survivor guy, sweet and tender. he's wonderful :D (hide spoiler)]

I finished 10 chapters as well. I agree with every one of your spoilers!

Josh and Dani are indeed awesome! (:

I am so happy the Wolves won the game!! I was hoping they would take Hudson seriously.

I am through Chapter 20 now as well.

Yeah, I love Josh!

I hated Kara but then when they talked and she gave Hudson the warning about Will it made me have more respect for her.

I am super excited to see how Hudson's performance goes! :D :D

Are you liking this one?

I am really liking this one! I love it! it's so cute :D

It is cute! :D I am on page 326. Hopefully I can finish it tonight!

okay, I'm done

*sigh* I loved this one :)

you beat me to it! I have 11 pages left! lol!

so glad you loved it!!

Forgot to come back last night.. Well I finished!

I really liked most of the characters but at points Kara and Will were frustrating and at other times I really liked them.

My actual rating is 3.5 stars! Geez... I wish we could do half stars here on GR.

Here is my review:

“Would 'sorry' have made any difference? Does it ever? It's just a word. One word against a thousand actions.”

Actual Rating: 3.5 stars

This book was pretty good. It had one subject I am really interested in and love to do: baking. I loved reading the descriptions of the cupcakes at the beginning of each chapter and I loved the scenes in the bakery early in the morning when Hudson would be creating another flavor of cupcake! The other subject this book had a lot of was ice skating. I do not really know how to ice skate, although I have done it once. I always thought it would be a super fun thing to learn though so I loved reading about it.

I did like most of the characters although I did have some issues with Kara and Will. Nothing too major.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and wouldn't mind reading Sarah's other books!

yay! I'm glad you, at least, enjoyed it! for some reason, I just loved this one. I slid right into the world and it was so easy for me to just read a few chapters and then move on

I really disliked how the mom expected so much from her
and actually told her daughter to go away at one point. I didn't think the mom had a right to ask so much of her
but I was glad at the changes I could see in the character by the end of the story - that she finally talked to her mom, that she cleared the air with Dani and she also took the chance on Josh
*sigh* I thought josh was great too! :)

I've read a few of her other books and liked them

I know. The mother's expectations were ridiculous.

And I also loved seeing the changes in the characters.

I will check out some of her other books. Any recommendations on which one I should read first?

Maybe
I read - and while I liked it, the group I read it with was pretty mixed on liking it and really disliking it.
I haven't read but I'd love to soon...maybe January :D

Okay! Thanks for the recommendations! :D

You want to BR the Book Of Broken Hearts?

I would love to!! :D are you okay for January tho?

Yeah, that actually works perfect! :D When is good for you? I don't have any buddy reads for January yet.

lol I don't either
how's 1/4? it's a saturday

That works perfectly! :D Do you want me to make the thread?

yes please ;) if that's okay

Sure! :D
