I had the chance to meet Becky Monson at a book signing in May.  She was kind enough to give me a copy of this book to read and review.  I love meeting authors and having books signed by them.  It's awesome.

This is the second book in this series and is somewhat dependent on reading the first book.  I guess you could just jump in here with the second book but you would probably feel a bit lost.  If you haven't read the first book, now is an EXCELLENT time to pick it up because it's FREE on Amazon unlimited.  Just .99 to buy!  :)  (at least it is as of today, the day this post is sent out to the world)

Julia Dorning is guaranteed to make you smile.  Some of the things that go through her mind- and sometimes out her mouth- so funny.  This book is told in the first person so you really get to know Julia on a very intimate level.  Her head is a crazy place to be.

I loved the cupcake battle show.  I could easily picture it because I have watched that show on TV a couple times.  Seeing it from Julia's mind was fun.  There were moments I wanted to shake Julia and moments I just wanted to hug her.  That's what made her real.

This is a fun series and I'm looking forward to the next book!
