Georgie had a very rough life. Her father had been in
prison from stealing money from people. This is the secret
that Georgie tries to hide from everyone. Only her close
friend Sam knows the whole story. Sam runs the CUPCAKES AT
CARRINGTON'S
Georgie lived way over her means. She felt that she had to
do this so people would never find out the truth. Through
all of this, at her job there are some big changes. The
company that she works for has brought in Maxine. Maxine
has her own idea how everyone should do their jobs.
Maxine is pitting one employee against another. Georgie
seems to be stuck in the middle of her best friend James
and
the new guy Tom. The other problem is Georgie has feelings
for both of them.
Through all of this, Georgie, is deciding if she wants to
forgive her father for all that he did to her and her mom.
Alexandra Brown writes a wonderful book involving family
and
friends. Ms. Brown gets to the heart of the problem
between Georgie and her father. I also enjoyed how she
showed a true friendship between Georgie and her best
friend
Sam. Both main characters have problems, and the author
writes how both of their lives were connected.
CUPCAKES AT CARRINGTON'S is a very enjoyable read. I
would like to see a second book to
see how their lives turned out.
SUMMARY
Where life is sweeter... Georgie Hart had it all – as a top personal shopper in
London, the heady world of Mulberry launch parties and
Louis
Vuitton goody bags meant she was living the dream. But all
that extravagance took its toll on her bank balance and it
was time to stop drinking champagne on beer money. Now Georgie runs the luxury bag concession at Carrington’s
Department store in the pretty seaside town of Mulberry Bay
and her lavish spending is confined to a red velvet cupcake
with butter cream icing in Carrington’s cafe. But her plans for a quiet life are thwarted when
Carrington’s goes into a recession-busting makeover and
soon, with the arrival of Maxine, wielding the axe in her
immaculately-manicured hands, Georgie is fighting not only
for her job, but also for the attentions of her dishy boss,
James. And when newcomer Tom arrives, who may or may not be
the best thing since sliced bread, Georgie must decide
where
her loyalties really lie...
