    Must read!

    Hockey, cupcakes and a love story! What's not to like?

    I loved this book. It was my first Sarah Ockler novel and I have to say I cannot wait to read the others she has written and whatever else is to come. Great story and better yet great cupcake ideas! If you plan on reading this book get some cupcakes first because with a recipe at the start of every chapter you will sure want a little dessert with your love story. Now usually my favorite part of any story is the romance or love story. However in this novel the relationship that captured my heart was between Hudson and her little brother Bug. Probably because Bug is what I call my son. There relationship reminded me somewhat of my son and I. Baking is our thing. Also my son is a huge hockey fan. This book just seemed to have so much more in it for me than just the love story. I would highly recommend reading this book. However like I stated before make sure you have some cupcakes to go with your love story!

    A cute book!

    Hudson was such a likeable character for me. She was witty and sarcastic, and she wasn't afraid to stand up to the hockey team (although she was afraid to talk to her mom about stuff).

    My heart broke for her in the first chapter when she realizes that her life is going to change due to her parents' divorce. Her thoughts were the same ones I had when my parents decided to split.

    I also really understood her feelings of frustration at having to step in to be the "parent" with her little brother and also remembering to pay bills. I imagine it's so hard to be a single parent, and having a teenager who is mature can almost feel like having another adult. But I felt like Hudson just had so many responsibilities that she shouldn't have been in charge of, such as paying the electric bill and the babysitter.

    I absolutely adored Bug, Hudson's little brother. He was geeky and smart and just super loveable.

    The romance in this story was cute and wasn't insta-love, which is always a huge plus. And again, loved Hudson's ability to stand up for herself and not be a doormat.

    If you're looking for a quick read that's the perfect book for winter, then you need to read Bittersweet!
