Mia is so different from Katie (protagonist in the first book) which shows in the story - I prefer this to having the series all from the same point of view because it gies different view points. Mia's family life has a big impact on her place in the Cupcake Club, which readers can relate to for other aspects of their own life. I really felt for her while she was faced with tough friendship choices, as it is faithful to real life scenarios. 10/10 (I received this directly from the publisher for review)
