*I feel like I did a good review in a long time* And sometimes, I just I like to read feel-good stories for amusement, short breaks from studies or just interest.īut, after reading this, I suggest that she doesn't make it look predictable because I could already guess to who it was. There's a unique twist in each book, honestly Plus, I don't mind love interests and the awesome recipes to make them.

I have to say, none of her books have failed to entertain me because each of her characters overcomes an obstacle that I really want to know how they dealt with it because I can actually relate to it.

And right after reading it, I wanted more, embarrassingly. I wasn't the type of person to usually read this kind of book, but it was actually entertaining and a feel-good book. Curiosity killed the cat, is what they say. Of course, my first impression was disgust then it turned into curiosity because there this person who was evidently non-reader who actually seemed like she liked it. Wait, wait don't leave, I have a plausible reason for reading this:ĭuring my 6th grade year, which was previously two years ago, I was a book noob and I stumbled across one of Suzanne's books 'Cake Pop Crush'.

Looks like a cheesy book doesn't it? It's actually not that corny, it just sounds corny. She now lives in Ridgefield, Connecticut with her family. She was born in New Jersey, grew up in Southern California, attended college in Texas, and spent eight years as a children’s book editor in New York City. She is a shameless fan of “The Sound of Music,” Hershey’s kisses, Charlotte Bronte, and Jane Austen, and can often be caught daydreaming of romping about gothic castles in lovely Victorian gowns. Her first published novel was The Sound of Munich, followed by Heart and Salsa, The Ghoul Next Door, Cake Pop Crush, and Dead in the Water. When she was seventeen, she filled four journals with her handwritten first novel, titled “The Dream Keeper.” To escape her chores, she often lied to her parents about what time her shift started at the local fast food joint so that she could spend an extra hour writing in the parking lot in her mom’s faded Buick. When she was in kindergarten, Suzanne Nelson jotted down in a school keepsake album that she wanted to be a “riter.” Though she clearly had issues with spelling, she persisted, composing cryptic poems about rainbows, fairies, mud, and even 'Star Wars' in spiral notebooks all through elementary school.
