Kurzbeschreibung

"Practice Cake is sad, funny, romantic, real, and just plain wonderful to read. I loved every witty minute of it."
- Paperback Princesses

"Moon has created a hilarious novel; she's a wonderful storyteller, capturing the reader's attention from the very beginning."
- Book Vacations


There's one thing Maddie Bird (18) finds more tempting than red velvet cake: her coworker, Drew. All it takes is one of his sly winks or a playful hip-check by the cooler, and she's incinerating the cookies. Her boyfriend would not approve.

When a reality TV crew descends upon the bakery, her simple summer job gets even more complicated. Maddie could become the Bakery Network's next breakout star, if she can handle the heat of being cast as a show villain. Drew has an alternate idea: run away from everything, with him and his sexy tousled hair. She decides to take the leap, but when she finds out Drew's been hiding a shocking secret, Maddie looks down at her packed suitcase and takes a moment to think. She could fly off to Australia with a guy she hardly knows, or she could pick up her suitcase and hit him with it.

Is there anyone Maddie can turn to for advice? Her sister has terrible taste in boyfriends, so she's out. Roxanne, the charismatic reality TV show producer, has some interesting opinions, but may be more interested in ratings. Maddie's best friend keeps pushing her cousin Hudson, a guy who thinks he's too cool for entry-level jobs, but makes origami. Come on. Origami?

Recommended for: older teens to adults

"5 Stars ... Dalya Moon never disappoints me. Not only her writing style is amazing, but also her stories are wonderful. First she introduced me to Charlie, a really sweet girl, but at the same time, very strong and brave. And now, she comes with another lovely story full of incredible characters and real life situations."
- Idris, Throwing Books

"I ate this book up. Great characters, fantastic story line, ample humor, it's all there!"
- Jessica of Hopelessly Devoted Bibliophile

If you like to giggle over imperfect people behaving badly, you'll love Practice Cake.

Where's the sequel?! 11. Dezember 2011
Von Marita Fowler - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Dalya Moon crafts a story chocked full of dramatic events, but skillfully weaves them around her main character, Maddie. You find yourself unsure which path would be best for young Maddie as you step through the events with her. I recognized some of my own youthful experiences in the plotline and it was easy to immerse myself.

Dalya's writing style is light and quick. She stays true to her characters age by introducing realistic complications and corruptible supporting characters.

It's like Chocolat for YA.

I hope there's a sequel!!! There are so many characters that I want to read more about.

Great story... great characters 31. Dezember 2011
Von Faith Williams - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
**Mild Spoiler Alert** (there are some details listed in my review that might be considered spoilers)

I took advantage of the free Kindle offer and downloaded this book on Dec. 21, 2011.

Maddie seemed a bit lost, like many kids fresh out of high school. She made some bad choices in guys, messed up with her friends, maybe overstepped her position as a part time baker's assistant, but in all of her choices, she really wanted to do the right thing. And doing the right thing after you've done the wrong thing is sometimes harder than doing it right the first time around.

I had originally wanted her and Drew to get together, but realized (about the same time she did) that he was just another bad choice. Her "date" with Brian reminded me of a particularly stupid decision I made myself when I was 17, so I was happy to read she got her revenge via a trout. And her initial reaction to Hudson was priceless - crushing his origami elephant, along with any thoughts he might have had of being friends. The origami Beetle was a great way to show his interest and I liked that Maddie finally realized he was worth getting to know.

I enjoyed reading this story and would recommend it to anyone looking for a uplifting story about a genuine, real-life girl.

Great Contemporary Read 10. Dezember 2011
Von Chandra Haun - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
In Practice Cake by Dalya Moon, Maddie is in her last weeks of high school, when she takes a job at a local bakery. Her first day at the bakery is a disaster, when her new co-worker Drew distracts her. Drew is gorgeous, and Maddie develops a crush, the problem being her boyfriend Parker. It does not help matters that her best friend, Jaslene, does not like Parker at all. Parker also does not approve of her taking a lowly job on being a baker's assistant.

In the beginning of Practice Cake, the bakery Maddie works for is not doing extremely well. After hearing a large chain bakery store was moving in a few blocks down, Maddie is determined to come up with a unique idea to attract new customers, and save the bakery. Coming up with this new baked good, attracts the attention of the Bakery Network. They want to film a reality TV show at the bakery where Maddie works, and make Maddie the star. While Maddie is nervous about being on TV, she knows if it goes well it could save the bakery. Maddie grows closer to Drew, and further away from Parker.

I really enjoyed read Practice Cake, The whole story, Maddie struggles trying to save the bakery, dealing with friends and family, and her feelings with Drew. At times, her friend, Jaslene, gets jealous, because of the reality show. Maddie is a very relatable character, and I really felt for her when things did not go her way. I have not really read a contemporary book in a while, so it was great to escape into Practice Cake.

I think anyone enjoys a good contemporary book would enjoy Practice Cake. This book is geared towards a YA audience, with underage drinking preferably an older YA audience. Thank you Dalya for letting me read your amazing novel! I truly enjoyed Practice Cake!

Every one of us has something special. And every one of us has been made to feel like garbage at some point. When you're young, you wear your hurt like a badge and it's always a competition about who had it worse . . . who had to sleep with a loaded gun under the pillow, whose parents had drug dealers on speed dial. And then, one day, you stop competing. &quote;
