In addition, the fact that Marcus and Penny do not talk or spend any time together at school is unrealistic.įrosted Kisses is a holiday-themed romance that doesn’t add any sparkle to the season.
Penny’s jealousy and inability to talk to Marcus are frustrating. However, in the second installment of the story, she is still insecure, this time focusing her insecurities on Marcus. In The Cupcake Queen, Penny’s insecurity was understandable because she had just moved to a new town and her parents had recently separated. Instead, the story jumps from topic to topic and leaves the reader with too many questions. In addition, there are too many topics-divorce, jealousy, bullying, and parental problems. Much of the story follows the exact same format as the first book and none of the characters are given any more depth. While The Cupcake Queen was a cute romance that would appeal to middle school readers, the second book Frosted Kisses falls flat. Can Penny and her friends save the animal shelter, navigate her new family dynamics, and get the boy-or will Charity and Esmeralda find a way to ruin everything? But while things with Marcus are wonderful and fluttery, they are also confusing at the same time.
Then there’s Marcus, the adorable and mysterious boy that Penny thinks might likes her as much as she likes him. Her best friend, Tally, has recruited her to help save the local animal shelter, which is in danger of closing unless they can raise some desperately needed funds.
