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.
Where life is sweeter...
Georgie Hart had it all β 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 Carringtonβs
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 Carringtonβs cafe.
But her plans for a quiet life are thwarted when
Carringtonβs 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...
