I have been sent this book for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book
Jesobel Jones is bold and beautiful. The daughter of a hand model and a washed-up rock star, she sees no need to apologise for her rambling house, her imperfect family, her single status ... or her weight. Jess makes her own cupcakes and she eats them, too. That is, until Own Clothes Day when a wardrobe malfunction leaves Jess exposed, and a mean girl calling her the one thing that’s never bothered her before: fat.
What I Thought:
I'm not used to reading YA books but they're something I'd like to read more of. Rebel with a Cupcake was sent to me to review and I'm really pleased to be part of the blog tour.
I did find it hard to get into the book but once you're in, you're in. I loved the different characters, some to really like and others you really, really dislike! Jess, the main character, is a great character and a really positive one to follow. Even when she's considering (and trying) to sort her weight after that incident her positive attitude towards others and her want to accept herself as she is shines through.
There was something quite nostalgic in this book for me, taking me back to my school days! A small group of pretty good mates, school days and the ones who are always there to make life difficult! Luckily I had a great friends like Jess and I didn't have such difficult family, or more correctly, a rude family!
I overall really enjoyed Rebel with a Cupcake and have suggested my 12 year old has a go at reading it too. I'll update with her opinion!
