Recipe For Disaster by Maureen Fergus

Francie's life was perfect. She had a great best friend, Holy, and it seemed like her and her crush, Tate, were getting closer, and closer. Her cooking was also becoming more popular at her parents restraunt. So why does she feel like it is all falling apart? Because the new girl, Darlene moved in. Darlene seemed nice at first, but it all turned out to be an act. She was wrecking her friendship with Holy, and her relationship with Tate. Then to top it all off, she thinks that her obsession with baking is weird. So with all this dramma going on her dreams of becoming a baker is slowly slipping. Then, she was a chance to meet her idol, Lorenzo, a hit tv baker. All she has to do is is tell him how passionate she is about baking and how he inspires her. Meeting him means so much her, he would help her launch her career. Will she make the cut against millions of other people, while trying to handle everything else?

This book I loved because it was about friends and crushes, that everyone can relate to, while also having a little bit of humor, and and a lot of conflict. When the main character, Francie cooked,she seemed so passionate about it. Her best freind, Holy was just like any other best friend, she was there for Francie and supported her whenever she needed it. The bird Rory, was hilarious. Although I found the problem with Francie, Tate, Darlene a bit predictable, I still enjoyed reading it. The romance in this book was very unexpected though, still believable.I would recomend this book to anyone who likes an inspiring book about a young baker.
