When Bria Landon and her estranged father each inherit fifty percent of a small-town cupcake shop, her dad hires her worst enemy, and first love, to turn the place into a soulless franchise…or sell it.
To save her aunt’s legacy, Bria needs the help of people who love the bakery as much as she does—her old friends who worked there fifteen years ago. Except each woman is dealing with her own problem:
Juliet, who's trying to prove she’s more than a trophy wife; Missy, a widow who fears losing the job she loves; Nell, who's meddling mother won't stop playing matchmaker; and Selena, a life coach who excels at fixing everyone else's lives...but hasn't a clue what's missing in her own.
Each woman wants to believe their friendship can overcome anything. But as the Berry Lake Cupcake Posse reunite to save their beloved cupcake shop, they soon discover the undertaking will bring more trouble than they expected.
My Review 💜
What a delicious read!! Having read some of the books from the Indigo Bay series I knew this was going to be a charming read, and I am positively smitten!!
Cupcakes & Crumbs is the first book in the Berry Lake Cupcake Posse series, and focuses on each member of the "posse," life-long friends that have drifted apart the past fifteen years, but have reunited due to a recent tragedy that has affected the entire town.
Because there are multiple narrators, it can get a tad confusing at times, keeping all the characters, and their back stories, straight, but the pace is great, and once you get into the rhythm of the story you find yourself completely invested.
Each character has their own struggles, but are so personable and likable, I could see myself being friends with them in real life. Cupcakes & Crumbs is written in a sweet, down-to-earth fashion that is full of heart. Speaking of sweet...the detailed descriptions of cupcakes that will seriously make your mouth water, pair that with wonderfully relatable characters, and a picturesque backdrop, it can't get more yummy than that!
I am already craving the next book in the series, and can't wait to see where the author takes the characters! There are a few questions that are left unanswered, relationships that I can't wait to see explored, and a mystery that I can't wait to find out if I'm right about!
Such a fun and charming book and the perfect series starter!
