Meet Me At The Cupcake Cafe by Jenny Colgan.
Sphere, April 2011.
Review by Laura Parish.
Izzy can bake. When she loses her job and her boyfriend, she decides to pursue her dream and open a bakery. With her best friend and bank manager behind her she whole heartedly jumps into her new venture but not without facing challenges along the way.
Cupcakes, romance and a great female character. This was a delicious book. From page one, this book was, for me, impossible to put down; I was hooked and the only problem I had with it was that the recipes included within made me want a shed load of cupcakes.
I liked Izzy and could relate to her as a main character. There’s a well paced plot which had me laughing, smiling and saying aww all at the same time. In my humble opinion, this is a wonderful feel good book.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
