Product Description:
"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?

"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.
