How to Eat a Cupcake
By Meg Donohue

Who doesn’t LOVE cupcakes? Yeah, thought so, and with a book titled How to Eat a Cupcake, well, that just begs to be read, right? My only problem when I first picked up Meg Donohue’s debut novel was that it wasn’t a scratch ‘n’ sniff book! THAT would really be the ICING on the cake! Ha, I’m on a roll here, aren’t I?

Free-spirited Annie Quintana and sophisticated Julia St. Clair come from two different worlds. Yet, as the daughter of the St. Clair’s housekeeper, Annie grew up in Julia’s San Francisco mansion and they forged a bond that only two little girls oblivious to class differences could—until a life-altering betrayal destroyed their friendship.

A decade later, Annie bakes to fill the void left in her heart by her mother’s death and a painful secret jeopardizes Julia's engagement to the man she loves. A chance reunion prompts the unlikely duo to open a cupcakery, but when a mysterious saboteur opens old wounds, they must finally face the truth about their past or risk losing everything.
