How to Eat a Cupcake by Meg Donohue

Sometimes things are just what they seem and sometimes they are so much worse.

How to Eat a Cupcake is a story about the hurts we can do to each other when we are young and how those hurts can stay with us and shape who we grow up to be and how they shape who we become.

What if you had the chance to right your wrongs, what would that look like and what would spur the change? And what if you were faced with the chance to have the healing you needed after something really bad?

Two women, Annie and Julia, were friends when they were little girls and grew up together. Julia is the child of very wealthy parents and grows up with all the privilege that comes with it. Annie is the daughter of a single mother who works as Julia's nanny and the family cook. The girls though just know they love each other. But then something happened in their senior year of High School that changed everything. Something that changed Annie's life and cost her so much pain and suffering. Ten years pass before they are thrown together and presented with the chance to heal and be healed. Can they? What will it cost them? And who will really be healed?

A little on the fluffy side (no pun intended), but over all a good story and an enjoyable read.
