Ugly Cupcakes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248364831)

Margo is doing her best to get by. Money is tight. Food is inconsistent. Most days are about making things last a little longer than they should.

She bakes because it's something she can control. Because it helps. Because sometimes a cupcake is the only good thing in the day.

When she ends up spending time with Elara, neither of them expects to become friends. They come from different backgrounds, carry their own insecurities, and make plenty of wrong assumptions about each other. But slowly, between hard days and small wins, they learn how to show up for someone else, and for themselves.

Ugly Cupcakes is a quiet story about poverty, body image, friendship, and figuring things out one day at a time. And yes, there are cupcakes...in the book but if you want to make some cupcakes and eat them while you read this why not! I want you to eat something GOOD while you read this. Pick your favorite food. Then I want you to sit down and eat and read and enjoy.
