Of course Annie is short and cu This book was like an underbaked cupcake. Of course Annie is short and curvy with wild hair and an electic style. Just once, I'd like to see the poor friend be the beautiful one. Rich girls can be unattractive too, although chick authors never seem to realize that. Throw in Julia's perfect financee, her father's possible dementia, Annie's unknown father appearing Also, Donahue kept the reader in the dark for more than half the book about why the girls had a falling out and why the adult Julia came home to San Francisco.

The author alluded to things without letting the reader in on the secret which was incredibly annoying. Well, yes, I'm sure that Julia did know but we, the readers, do not and we shouldnt have to read half the book to learn such a crucial fact. Finally, calling the bakery a "cupcakery" annoyed to no end.

It was a bakery. I think Donahue has talent but this was clearly a first novel. Hopefully she can improve. Mar 17, Kathleen Kat Smith rated it it was amazing Shelves: Annie Quintana and Julia St. Clair as a different as night is to day. Separated by ten years, the two find themselves brought together once again. Clair is ambitious, sophisticated and is very wealthy. The only daughter of the St.

Clair family, she is in the planning process of her wedding to Wesley, a Southern businessman but is hiding a secret she must tell him before she marries.

Julia finds herself with time on her hands now that she has quit her job to move back home to San Franci Annie Quintana and Julia St. Julia finds herself with time on her hands now that she has quit her job to move back home to San Francisco to begin planning her wedding with her mother, Lolly. Annie Quintana has been used to taking the back seat in life, especially when it comes to Julia or the St.

Annie's mother Lucia was the housekeeper for the St. Clair's and also became a close personal friend to Lolly during the time she worked there. Annie grew up with Julia since they lived in a small apartment on the St. Clair estate and was provided for by the St. Attending the same schools as Julia since they were both only children. It made sense for them to be friends. Lucia died in the kitchen after having a brain aneurism and after attending the funeral and dealing with issues in high school, the girls grew apart. Now that Annie has been asked by Lolly St. Clair to cater her party by bringing her delicious cupcakes, Annie and Julia are reunited.

By this reunion isn't a warm one. The reader gets a sense that something more has happened between the two girls and as they begin to make plans to go into the cupcake business together, the reader is taken on a journey between alternate points of view between Julia and Annie. As they come to terms with how they can work together in running this business, the reader gets a sense that all is not what it seems to be. Annie is warm and hard working, trying to find a way to make her cupcake business a success while still working through some unresolved issues with Julia that happened in high school.

Julia on the other hand remains distant from wedding plans, avoids confrontation with Annie over what issues she has with her, and seeks solace in sharing drinks with her ex boyfriend Jake Logan.

Upcoming Events

I related to Annie the most, having been raised in Julia's shadow most of her life, she seeks resolution with Julia before she can move forward but Julia is constantly changing the subject or passes it off without realizing the impact it had on Annie's childhood. Julia is a bit self absorbed and likes to be the center of attention, seeking to remain at the top of whatever event is going on at the time.

I really liked this book because it portrays a unique connection between the two women who come from different walks of life but are drawn together in a compelling way. I rate this one a 4. The only thing missing were some recipes for these delicious cupcakes that are invented along the way! Jan 03, Christine rated it it was ok. Estranged friends Julia and Anna are reunited after ten years and open a cupcakery together. They work hard to build a successful business and attempt to rebuild their friendship after difficult high school years destroyed their relationship.

Meanwhile, Julia struggles with a past trauma and planning her upcoming wedding, while Anna still tries to comes to terms with her mother's untimely death, while dating a man who seems all wrong for her. Julia and Anna are childhood best friends. Julia tall, blond, reserved is the daughter of a wealthy family, while Anna short, dark, curvy, full of personality is the daughter of the nanny.

The girls have a falling out in high school which ruins their friendship. The "big reveal" of what happened was certainly poor behavior on Julia's part and I felt bad for Anna, but for Anna to hold resentment for years was juvenile and ridiculous. Julia's "secret trauma" is easy to figure out and Anna's constant complaints about everything were overwhelming. Both girls were unlikable although I will admit they kind of grew on me by the end. The best part of this book were the rotating narratives, which gave me enough of a break to completely not hate either character.

This book had the potential to at least be funny, but there were few if any laugh out loud moments. The fluffy concoction that I was looking for. A wee mystery, a few romances and some fine frosting and I was comfortably satiated, which was my hope for this sweet this book.

Three stars for a solid performance. Jul 02, Sara Strand rated it it was ok. You know I love me a good chick lit book, but I've grown frustrated with most of what I have read recently. Every story sounds like another book I have read. I feel like this is like a few books but we changed up the setting and put some cupcakes in it.

Part of what made this just a mediocre book for me is that it never hooked me, drew me in to keep reading. And it's so frustrating because I f You know I love me a good chick lit book, but I've grown frustrated with most of what I have read recently. And it's so frustrating because I felt like the author wanted to have this fun book that would be a fun book club read or something to share among friends and this just doesn't get there. The characters are predictable and Annie is the low income Hispanic person who holds a grudge against the world and then there's Julia, privileged, wealthy white girl.

You know what happens, you know why they had their big rift and you know how it ends. Overall, if you really love chick lit and that's really the only genre that gets you reading- pick this one up, you won't be disappointed. On the other hand, if you read to get a new story, or to experience something, wait for my next review. View all 7 comments.

Maybe it was all the knowing references to "the effects of aging" by characters who are Maybe it was the rather boring who-dunnit sub-plot. Or the lamely two-dimensional male characters.

Or that I have a hard time suspending disbelief and thinking of cupcake bakeries as anything like a real long-term "business venture," even though there are real businesses that have done it just fine. I did walk away from it thinking that the author seemed capable of more than this, but I don't think I'll be reading more of her books to find out.

Wat een leuk boek was dit. In het begin vond ik het wat lastig om in het verhaal te komen maar uiteindelijk lukte het wel. Wat ik leuk vond is dat het vanuit de optiek van beide vriendinnen werd geschreven waarbij ze ieder hun eigen verhaal hadden maar wat uiteindelijk toch ook weer bij elkaar kwam. Er zitten tot op het laatste deel van het verhaal dingen in die je niet echt verwacht. Dit maakt het voor mij een goed boek. Aug 08, Melodie rated it liked it Shelves: Childhood friends with a difficult past are thrown together as adults.

And to complicate things further, they are in business together! One is entitled, the other has a chip on her shoulder. Both have some growing up to do if the cupcakery they have opened is to succeed. Overall this was a decent light read. There was a twist or two to keep it interesting. If you can suspend belief that this arrangement could actually work, pack it in your beach bag and enjoy.

Mar 22, Susan Tunis rated it really liked it. I gained weight with every page I live in San Francisco, where this novel is so evocatively set. After the coldest, dreariest, rainiest week ever, I felt I deserved a treat. I pulled How to Eat a Cupcake off the shelf. Annie Quintana grew up in the carriage house of the St. Her mother, Lucia, was the nanny to Julia St. Clair, and the two girls were raised practically as sisters. They were the cl I gained weight with every page I live in San Francisco, where this novel is so evocatively set. They were the closest of friends until a rift in their teen years.

As the novel opens, Annie and Julia live very different lives. In the midst of a sugar high, she proposes to Annie that they collaborate on opening a cupcake shop. And so an uneasy alliance is born. As the two women work together towards a common goal, they work to heal their fractured relationship.

There are many allusions to past wrongs before the full story is eventually teased out, and there are an equal number of ominous foreshadowings, because not everyone seems to want these two to succeed. Beyond that there are subplots about men, parents, business, and many, many references to delicious cupcakes! I will warn you now, the cravings became unbearable. Let this serve as a warning to all dieters.

For me, in the midst of some god-awful dreary weather, it was exactly the literary comfort food I needed. Mmmm, books about cupcakes. I love foodie fiction and I was very excited to read this book because 1.

This is also a story about a redeemed friendship. I really liked both of the main characters in the book. Annie seems like a person that I would really like to be friends with. She seems like a lot of fun. Julia doe Mmmm, cupcakes! Julia doesn't start out looking so great but ends up with a redemption that is really fantastic. They grew up best friends. Annie's beloved mother worked for Julia's family but Annie and Julia were more family than anything else until something happens between them during high school.

Topics Mentioning This Author

The book is told from the alternating perspectives of Annie and Julia, which I thought was a particularly good strategy for this book. I liked seeing both sides of the story as you get a chance to understand everything that happened a little bit more. This book also has a couple little mysteries within it that really added to the overall storyline.

There were some pretty good twists and turns in the book that I really liked following. This book moves very quickly and sometimes I wish that it had slowed down a little bit with more detail added but overall, it's pretty good. This is a great book about friendship! Jan 27, Mrs Mommy Booknerd http: Donohue has blasted her debut novel right out of the ballpark.

It was moving, believable, well written and real. The characters were well developed and despite their imperfections you found yourself rooting for them, grieving with them, celebrating with them The novel was perfectly paced and it kept me engaged from start to finish. Just when I thought I may have figured things out Donohue threw me for a loop. I am so excited to see what Donohue has blasted her debut novel right out of the ballpark. I am so excited to see what else Donohue has in store for us as readers. One thing I know for sure is that she has talent and staying power!

I rate this book 5 stars and highly recommend it. Mar 09, Kimberly Russell rated it did not like it Shelves: This one was a bookclub pick. I'm sorry, but I was bored out of my mind I only made it to page I'm still going to the meeting though because most people are bringing cupcakes. View all 5 comments.
