This is my favorite book in the Cupcake Diaries series ever written by Coco Simon! In this bittersweet novel, Katie Brown's father reaches out to her after years of distance and offers an internship at his famous restaurant, Chez Donald. While Katie knows it's a great opportunity, she can't help feeling that awkwardness may ruin this job. It is a once-in-a-lifetime offer, though, so she accepts and tries it out. She begins to start warming up to the job when suddenly, she cuts her finger and needs stitches in the Chez Donald kitchen! Much to her chagrin, it's her mom's boyfriend Jeff who brings her to the hospital, not her actual dad, who mutters an excuse about "lunch hour" and "busy." Katie is extremely grateful to Jeff but feels infinitely hurt that her dad prioritized his business over her, his own daughter. So, it really comes as no surprise that Katie feels overwhelmed and insecure when she meets her dad's three new "perfect blonde" daughters. On top of it all, Jeff has decided to propose to her mom! Can Katie deal with all the changes in her life, or will these sudden disruptions push her over the edge?

A short and sweet book about blended families, this Cupcake Diaries book features Katie Brown and her family struggles. Her dad Marc Donald Brown, the owner of the famous restaurant Chez Donald, hasn't contacted her since she was a baby. So when Katie accidentally meets him at a cooking competition, she is validly freaked out and quits the competition. Yet, her father tries to contact her again, asking her to intern at his restaurant. Katie's mom's boyfriend Jeff is also preparing to propose to Mrs. Brown! Despite the refuge Katie finds in the Cupcake Club, this may be one ordeal too many for her.
