Jesobel Jones is a loud, bold, brash and confident daughter of a
former model and rock star. She sees no need to apologize for who she is
including her weight. However, when her prep school has an occasion
that allows students to wear their own clothes, Jess had a wardrobe
malfunction that makes her a target of the popular girls. It exposes
Jess and leaves her feeling vulnerable and questioning her lifestyle.
Will Jess be able to regain her self-confidence?
The
witty book reads like a "Mean Girls" episode script. It was filled with
teenage drama and angst along with humor. However, I found it be very
predictable and hard to enjoy the main character. I like that she was
outspoken and self-confident but I found it discouraging that she didn't
want to be judged by her looks but did it to others. I don't think
being self-confident comes at the expense of others. If you enjoy books
with a "Mean Girls" theme, you will enjoy this one.

Title: REBEL
WITH A CUPCAKE

Pages: 216
Formats: Hardcover, Paperback, eBook
Jesobel Jones is bold and brash, the
daughter of a hand model and a washed-up rock star. Jess sees no need to
apologize for her rambling house, her imperfect family, her single status … or
her weight. Jess is who she is. She makes her own cupcakes and she eats them,
too. No regrets.
That is, until Own Clothes Day rolls around at school. Jess and her friends dedicate the requisite hours of planning to their outfits, their hair and their makeup for the one day they are free from school uniforms. But a wardrobe malfunction leaves Jess with a pair of leggings split open at the worst spot, and a mean girl calling her the one thing that’s never bothered her before: fat.
The encounter shakes Jess’s formerly iron-clad
confidence, and she starts to wonder if she’s been just a little too comfortable in her own skin. When the boy of her dreams invites her to a party, she must decide whether to try to fit in for the first time in her life, or remain true to herself — whoever that really is.
