Review: Cupcake by Cookie O'Gorman

Synopsis

I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking this will be just one more story of the ignored, "big-boned " girl, who sheds her glasses and a few extra pounds and finally attracts the notice of the most popular guy in school.

Except it isn't. Because I'm not unpopular. Not all that ignored. And I love the way I look―just as I am.

Then someone puts my name in for Homecoming Court.

The bigger surprise?

People actually vote for me!

Now, I'm a "princess"―whether I like it or not―but the guy I'm paired with isn't exactly Prince Charming.

Rhys Castle is the strong, silent type who always wears a frown―he's certainly never smiled at me. I'm 99.9% sure he hates being on Court and being my partner, but surprisingly…he doesn't switch when he gets the chance.

Turns out Rhys has a secret―something that makes him run hot and cold throughout the entire three weeks of Homecoming festivities. Whether he's stepping on my feet during dance lessons or gallantly escorting me through the Homecoming parade, I can't get a read on this guy, and for the first time, I find my confidence wavering.

But there's more to Rhys than meets the eye. And the more the spotlight shines on me, I realize there's more to me, too.

Review

It's a delightful young adult romance novel that will put a smile on your face. The story is sweet and savory, and all the things I love. We have a main character, Ariel, who loves to bake, watches a lot of rom-coms, have no interest in Homecoming, and doesn't want to be a princess. You can't help but love her. She deserves a happily-ever-after and she might just get it, as long as she doesn't let the world pull her down.

Ariel can't believe that people voted for her to be a Homecoming Princess. Not only that, but she is paired up with Rhys as her Prince. He is only the hottest guy in her school. Although he seems to be a rude person. When the month long Homecoming tradition starts, she has no hope of actually having fun, but soon she will find out that the school spirit can be addictive.

Overall, I find this story endearing and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend to all romance fans.
