    About this audiobook

    Suburban soccer mom Amy has always wanted to stand out from the crowd. Former child prodigy Linnie just wants to fit in. The two sisters have been estranged for years, but thanks to a series of personal crises and their wily grandmother, they've teamed up to enter a national bake-off in the hopes of winning some serious cash.

    Armed with the top-secret recipe for Grammy's apple pie, they should be unstoppable. Sure, neither one of them has ever baked anything more complicated than brownie mix, but it's just pie – how hard could it be?

      Two estranged sisters are manipulated into participating in a baking competition by their grandmother. I like that the sisters rediscovered a relationship as a result. I like that Linnie begins to realize that second place does not mean "first loser".I didn't like some of the cutthroat methods used by the competitor's to sabotage the others. What's wrong with doing your best and letting the others do their best? (And I don't mean something simple like you needed 4 eggs for your recipe and you took the last 4 eggs there were so another team that dropped theirs had none--no, this is things like substituting salt for sugar or trying to incapacitate another competitor by putting drops in their coffee!)There's a bit of a twist in that in the end, the winners end up sabotaging themselves unknowingly.

      Sisters Amy and Linnie are brought together by their crafty Grammy Syl, in an attempt on her part for them to bury the hatchet and be a part of each others' lives. Sounds easy enough, but neither sister is a baker and Grammy has entered them in a National Baking Contest, using her Polish Apple Pie recipe. Linnie needs the prize money and Amy's time away from her family may help her see a new career path. Their situation grew from differences in their childhood and it's great to see them begin to appreciate each other as adults. What I really liked, however, was Kendrick's handling of the Baking Contest itself. From the descriptions of the rules, runners to the pantry and the mock cooking areas set up for each set of contestants, I felt I was learning a lot about this strange world. The baking world is not without its' own rivalries and scandals either and these made for some interesting parts of the story.
