Get well soon isnt going to cut it in this quirky and poignant debut novel about a girl, her depression, an aggressive amount of baked goods, and the struggle to simply stay afloat in an unpredictable, bittersweet life. Every other senior at Cove High School might be mapping out every facet of their future, but Molly Bryne just wants to spend the rest of the summer (maybe the rest of her life) watching Golden Girls reruns and hanging out with her cute coworker at FishTopia. Some days, they are the only things that get her out of bed. You see, for the past year, Mollys been struggling with depression, above and beyond industry-standard teen angst. Crushing on her therapist isnt helping, and neither is her mom, who is convinced that baking the perfect cake will cure heras if icing alone can magically make her rejoin the swim team or care about the SATs. Ummm, no, not going to happen. But when Molly finds out FishTopia is turning into a lame country diner, her already crummy life starts to fall even more out of her control, and soon she has to figure out what if anythingis worth fighting for. 100 Days of Cake is a quirky and poignant story of a girl, her depression, an aggressive amount of baked goods, and the struggle to simply stay afloat in an unpredictable, bittersweet world.

Mehso-so

Just meh. Too YA for me and too light touch on its approach to depression. Also a totally inappropriate relationship with a therapist, which I thought was written off very dismissively.

Cinfhen 😫at least that prompt is done ✅ 4y
Kalalalatja I‘m interested in this, in a way, because I work with so many young people who are depressed, but hearing about the relationship with the therapist, I‘m not so sure anymore 🤷‍♀️ 4y
TrishB @Cinfhen exactly 😁 4y
TrishB @Kalalalatja obviously I‘m not a professional, but it does affect someone I‘m close too and I think there are much better books than this one that deal with it. I won‘t say what the therapist does in case you decide to read! 4y
Cathythoughts At least you have your prompt sorted 👍🏻 🎂 4y

I liked this one a lot! It centers around a seventeen year old girl who is clinically depressed. It does a good job of showing how depression can look sometimes. And while it deals with some very heavy issues, it does it in a way that‘s not overwhelming or too heavy, but also doesn‘t make light of things. It‘s a good balance, and definitely a book that may be helpful for some. It also referenced The Golden Girls several times, which was awesome!

MartinaLove I loved watching The Golden Girls. I wish it could replay on TV. 5y
GypsyKat @MartinaLove They run reruns on different channels a lot. I was lucky enough to get the DVDs for my birthday a few years ago. ❤️ 5y
MartinaLove @GypsyKat What a nice gift! 5y
GypsyKat @MartinaLove It really was! I‘ve seen every single episode several times, but now I‘m watching it through in order with the hubs. 😊 5y
MartinaLove @GypsyKat That's nice! They are so funny! 😂 5y

I picked this up on Book Outlet because it was so inexpensive. But, it looks like a book that would have helped my teenage self as I struggled with depression and anxiety. Take one day at a time. And, of course, there is cake on the cover. #TheDayAfterTomorrow #SeptemberDanes
