The entire time I was reading this book, I thought it felt like the author was simply trying too hard to make her character seem "hip". All she ended up doing for me was making Piper seem a bit irritating and immature.
If you're going into this book with the expectation that there will be a lot of information about cake decorating, think again. The bakery is almost an afterthought throughout the entire book. Most of the story is actually centered around the cast of a soap opera.
I had the villain pegged way before the story was over, and I had to keep pushing myself to finish it. I didn't really become very attached to any of the characters. I may read book 2 in this series, but only because it's already in my TBR pile. I certainly won't rush to do it though.
