amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! submitted by ECReader on July 6, 2013, 10:51am this was an amazing book!!!!!!! I love how the author got drama and cupcakes to work together to create an awesome book! =)

dylan submitted by unknown on August 18, 2013, 12:17am The Cupcake Club is back - and this book's focus is on Alexis.

Alexis' sister, Dylan, is turning sixteen, and The Cupcake Club has been hired to provide the dessert. There is just one problem: Dylan. She is an unreasonable customer, but sticking with the theme of this series, all things are worked out in the wash.

The true focus of this novel is not on The Cupcake Club and their dilemma with Dylan; the focus is growing up and developing first crushes. For Alexis, that crush is Matt Taylor, brother to her best friend.

This installment deals with the importance of friendship and remaining true to yourself no matter the situation, difficult older sisters and crushes included.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but I gave it four instead of five stars because I felt the focus was too much on Alexis. But as all things happen when growing up, the author is moving the series from being about the group as a whole to giving readers individual characters that are enhanced when with their group of friends. I guess you could say that by book four in the series, the author begins to show young readers the importance of friendship, but also the importance of one's self.
