I sell children's books for a living, and read almost nothing but. The first does not necessarily cause the second, as books for children and teens are better than anything in the world.
Another excellent read from Ockler; like Sarah Dessen and Susane Colasanti and Elizabeth Scott, she really has a talent for walking the line between serious and fluffy. I loved Hudson. It doesn't hurt that I also love cupcakes and ice skating, and both feature prominently in this.
