Nayuleska's thoughts
I adore this series which revolves around a tight group of friends through the ups and downs of life. Each book is from a different character's point of view, and as you can see from the title this is from Emma's pov. Although I don't have a sibling younger than me, it was easy to sense how much Emma hated the summer plan! Although she did get off a bit lightly since she didn't get to stay with her younger brother during the day at camp.
There was a feel good factor when she took part in some camp activities because it was for the girls only - which meant they could get close to each other and not be teased about it. Emma has a few issues having her camp friends and her cupcake club friends, but they manage to work issues out for a happy ending. & yes, there are plenty of cupcakes in this 10/10 read!
Suggested read
Be sure to check out previous books in the series including another Emma-centric book, The Cupcake Diaries: Emma on Thin Icing.
