review 1: I won this book thanks to a Goodreads First giveaway / J'ai gagné ce livre grace à un concours Goodreads FirstAt the beginning I wondered if maybe I was too old for the book: teenagers are often protagonists in what I read but usually it is in dystopian books or someone is dying so it was a bit weird to just follow a normal girl. But that is just the thing, Lottie has problems and does everything (lies) to not make them worse. What I liked most was when we found out someone else who seems to have the good life actually has secrets and problems of their own, and I guess that's the message of the book, everybody has problems, nobody is the only person who has someAu début je me demandais si je n'étais trop vieille pour ce livre: les ados sont souvent protagonistes dans c... moree que je lis mais d'habitude ce sont des dystopies ou quelqu'un est mourant donc c'était un peu bizarre de juste suivre une fille normale. Mais voila, Lottie a des problèmes et fait tout (elle ment) pour ne pas les empirer. Ce que j'ai surtout aimé c'est quand on découvrait que quelqu'un d'autre qui semble avoir la belle vie a aussi des secrets et ses propres problèmes, and j'imagine que c'est le message du livre, tout a des problèmes, personne n'est la seule personne a en avoir
review 2: This book sounded exactly like my cup of tea and proved to be a real five star read!The story is about a group of teenagers who form an unexpected friendship when they all join the school's new Bake Club. It centres mainly on Lottie, who, desperate to escape her problems at home, throws herself into her passion for baking - a way for her to feel close to her deceased father. Although she tries to keep the truth about her home life secret from her teachers and her fellow students, because of her involvement in the club she makes new friendships, finds romance and gradually learns how to open up to those around her. I love the fact that the characters perhaps wouldn't have ordinarily have become friends but because of Bake Club they form a solid friendship through their shared love of baking. They begin to help each other with their personal problems and their bond with each other was something that I really loved. There are some great secondary characters in the story and I found myself wanting to know more about all of them. The romance between Lottie and Mac is so sweet and cute. He's the school bad boy but underneath his tough exterior he is a caring and considerate boy. He's misjudged by a lot of the adults in the book but with Lottie by his side he begins to turn his life around and build a new future for himself. What I particularly adored about this book was the way it combined my love of reading and baking. I am a massive baking fan and I never miss an episode of the Great British Bake Off, therefore I absolutely loved the bonus addition of some wonderfully tasty recipes. I've already made the pumpkin pie and blueberry muffins and the chocolate chip cookies are to die for! Like Lottie and co, when I'm baking, I can forget about anything else that I have to do and just focus on the mixing, beating, measuring and stirring. This is captured perfectly in the pages of the story and was something I loved about the overall book which was truly as sweet and delicious as a cupcake! Katy Cannon's next book is out in February 2015 and will be called 'Secrets, Schemes and Sewing Machines'. It's already top of my list of books I absolutely need to buy next year. less
