The Sweetest Thing by Christina Mandelski (May 10th 2011)
Christina Mandelski's debut novel, about a young teen juggling first love, a cake-decorating business, her dad's reality TV show, and a search for her missing mother.Doesn't this one sound like it's going to be adorable? I think so. Plus, I've heard that it's similar to something Sarah Dessen would write so that earns Christina bonus points in my opinion.
Here's some more about it from SLJ's Librarian Preview:
"Dessen-rific. Dessert-rific, for that matter.
In this story a girl loves decorating cakes, which is a good thing since much of the rest of her life sucks. To improve her lot, she becomes convinced that if she can just find her missing mom then everything will be peachy keen and roses. Sort of the Keeper way of looking at things. Naturally, this doesn’t quite turn out to be the case."
