Book Summary
There are so many things that Halle Levitt likes about her online bff, Nash. He’s an incredibly talented graphic artist. He loves books almost as much as she does. And she never has to deal with the socially awkwardness of seeing him in real life. They can talk about anything and everything…Except her real identity. Because online, Halle isn’t Halle—she’s Kels, the super cool creator of One True Pastry, a YA book blog that pairs homemade cupcakes with covers and reviews. Kels has everything Halle doesn’t: including friends, a growing platform, tons of confidence, and Nash. That is, until Halle arrives to spend senior year in her Grandpa’s small town and finds herself face-to-face with real-life Nash. Nash, who is somehow everywhere she goes—in her classes, at the bakery she works at, even at synagogue. Nash who has no idea she’s actually Kels. If Halle tells him who she is, it will ruin the non-awkwardness of their digital friendship. Not telling him though, means it can never be anything more. But what if she wants something more?
Review
What I Like About You by Marisa Kanter
This book was one of the very few books that I couldn’t put down!! All of the characters were so unique and I’m pretty sure that many readers could relate to them on a personal level! But not only were the characters amazing, the book was also full of surprises, dreams, and beautiful cupcakes! I had heard of What I Like About You when it first came out but it had just been added to my TBR pile like a lot of books, but once I actually got to reading it, I was upset that I hadn’t read it sooner!! So in spirit of reading What I Like About You, I decided to make my own book inspired cupcakes to go with the book review because this book deserved some cupcakes.
