Given Summary: Once upon a time, Hudson knew exactly what her future looked like. Then a betrayal changed her life and knocked her dreams to the ground. Now she’s a girl who doesn’t believe in second chances, a girl who stays under the radar by baking cupcakes at her mom’s diner and obsessing over what might have been.
So when things start looking up and she has another shot at her dreams, Hudson is equal parts hopeful and terrified. Of course, this is also the moment a cute, sweet guy walks into her life—and starts serving up some seriously mixed signals. She’s got a lot on her plate, and for a girl who’s been burned before, risking it all is easier said than done.
It’s time for Hudson to ask herself what she really wants, and how much she’s willing to sacrifice to get it. Because in a place where opportunities are fleeting, she knows this chance may very well be her last....
Cover: So the cover of this book is a broken heart being put back together, but why is it a cookie? Shouldn't it be a cupcake? It should be the decoration on top of a cupcake that depicts the healed broken heart. The book makes such a big deal about cupcakes and how Hudson is the Cupcake Queen, so the cover shouldn't have a cookie on it. I guess the baking theme is there and it's a cute cover don't get me wrong, I just think it would be better if it was a cupcake.
My Review: Sometimes we think we want things we used to have, but when we get them again they're not as we remembered. Hudson thought that if she won the skating competition it would bring her back to her days of skating when everything was good in her life. But that's not how life works. Sometimes we have to roll with the punches and just keep moving forward. Everything will work out in the end even if it's not where we though we would end up. That's something we have to learn on our own though, just like Hudson. It's something you say over and over, "It will all work out..." but it's hard to fully believe until we have a moment where we look around and decide we are where we need to be. This book also throws in the importance of the people around you. Some people are going to let you down in life. They'll leave and never come back. However, there will also be people who will always be there for you so it's important to appreciate them. This novel can be seen as a coming to age story that depicts how sometimes we have to follow our dreams without trying to go back in time.
Smile! I'll talk to you soon!xxx
