"What I needed was a card that said something like, 'Hey, crush! I really like you, but if you don't like me like that, then pretend you never got this card. Oh, and don't tell anyone, either. Especially your sister, who is my best friend!' Ha. Guess how many cards I found like that?" A sarcastic and wholesome book written by the beloved Coco Simon, businessy Alexis Becker is hopelessly crushing on her best friend Emma's older brother Matt. Valentine's Day is soon emerging, and though she considers it sort of a silly holiday, Alexis wants to do something nice for Matt. Especially since it appears that Matt likes her back, even confirmed by his own little sister, Emma! But when one tiny little Valentine soon spirals into a full-on whirlwind of broken hearts and confusion, maybe Alexis should've stuck to her motto that Valentine's Day is silly after all.

Alexis's life is spiraling out of her control. First, she goes to the beach with her fellow Cupcakers but gets badly sunburned because she didn't want to apply sunscreen, afraid it would make her seem dorky. Then, after days of discomfort and pain, she also has to find something to wear for the barbeque and try to impress her crush Matt at the same time. Failed tests and demeaning fashion choices are sending the usually organized Alexis over the edge!

No one can deny Alexis Becker's smarts! In this new Alexis novel, she is determined to incorporate her passion for cupcakes with her hopefully-first-prize-winning science fair project. She's decided to research healthy cupcakes, but the problem is, there aren't many healthy cupcake recipes even cooking whiz Katie Brown can concoct that are truly healthy, lovely appearance-wise, good-smelling, and original. Alexis is dejected, but she's also hopeful, seeing it as a chance to ask the love of her life, Matt, to help her! But when she realizes that Matt is working with the pretty, fresh, fun Samantha Perry, Alexis can't hide her jealousy. She isn't usually an envious girl, but she can't help it this time. Love intermingles with science in a true show of "chemistry" (hehe great joke huh?) in this sweet book.

It is so sad that the violence surrounding Floyd's death has lead to more violence in the form of looting and vandalism. I wish all the protest would stay peaceful in order to get their point across, so that no one else gets hurt unnecessarily
