Sassy and entertaining Cyd Charisse moves from San Francisco to New York City to start a new life—without her true love—in the “thoroughly satisfying conclusion to the saga” (School Library Journal).
Cyd wants to find a cool job, the city’s best caffeination and most perfect cupcake, and a hot new love. But the reality of her new life hits some unexpected obstacles, including a broken leg that renders her immobile; the joy and aggravation of sharing an apartment with a roommate who’s also an older brother; and a tasty selection of guys—none of whom measure up to Shrimp.
Then, just when Cyd starts to get her new life on track, her old love returns. Shrimp has given up on his plans to live and surf in New Zealand and arrives in NYC with nothing to do other than to be with her. And this time Cyd’s is determined that she and Shrimp will not repeat their old mistakes.
This third book about reformed hellion Cyd Charisse is just as unforgettable as Gingerbread and Shrimp.

From Publishers Weekly
Irrepressible Cyd Charisse returns in a third novel that picks up right where Shrimp left off. CC is now 18 and living in New York's Greenwich Village with her half-brother, Danny, thinking about culinary school and reconsidering her "no contact" agreement with Shrimp, who is surfing and writing haiku in New Zealand. Her new life features ups and downs (she breaks her leg and drops out of culinary school, but also makes new friends and lands a job as a barista). When Shrimp arrives on her doorstep just in time for a Christmas surprise, CC must decide if she wants to continue building her own life or make one with the man she loves. This book once again covers a lot of ground, including CC's first fight with Danny, the death of a friend and a trip back to California to see her parents (and to track down Shrimp), but CC's authentic voice keeps the story grounded. Fans will appreciate that this installment features a more mature CC, who considers choices more carefully, even if she complains, "What happened to us! We were once rebels! Proudly insolent teenagers!" Readers may find it hard to believe that the book's unusual characters bond so strongly (such as CC's punk boss, Johnny Mold, and her uptight half-sister LisBETH) and they may well predict the outcome—but they will have fun watching CC's free spirit take on the Big Apple. Ages 13-up. (Feb).

Grade 9 Up—In this final installment in the series, Cyd Charisse, high school graduate, rejects a marriage proposal from her surfer boyfriend, Shrimp, who relocates to New Zealand with his parents, and follows her own dream of a new life in Manhattan. Tossed back into the life she first sampled in Gingerbread (S & S, 2002) when she visited her father, she is determined to find her niche in the city that promises to deliver the "perfect espresso shot" she craves. Readers will once again be captivated by Cyd's hip language and sophisticated take on life. She and her New York family, including her gay, cupcake-baking half brother and ambitious, man-hunting half sister, are perfect foils for one another. She dominates the novel with her strong, effervescent personality, and readers are drawn inside the mind of this unforgettable young woman. Fans of the Cyd/Shrimp love story will not be disappointed with this thoroughly satisfying conclusion to the saga.—Caryl Soriano, New York Public Library

From Booklist
Following Gingerbread (2002) and Shrimp (2005), the latest adventure of antihero Cyd Charisse picks up Cyd's story after she has graduated high school and moved in with her gay older brother, Danny, to help with the cupcake business he runs out of his Greenwich Village apartment. CC is supposed to be attending culinary school but is distracted by new friends and her unending search for the perfect cup of NYC espresso. Then former boyfriend Shrimp, who left after CC turned down his marriage proposal, shows up unexpectedly. Shrimp and CC are drawn back into their tug-of-war relationship, which will be sweet agony for fans who have rooted for the two from the beginning. Candid talk about love and sex and some sexual situations make this a book for older teens, but audience aside, Cohn remains at the top of her wordy, pop-culture game in what has turned out to be a stylishly hip series.

Fast paced summer holiday read.
By KateJones
Meet CC. A self-absorbed, young...well, I wouldn't say lady...but at least knows what she wants.
After breaking up with Shrimp and letting him `escape' to New Zealand with his parents, CC moves from San Francisco to New York to start a new exciting life on her own.
Except that right away things go wrong (she falls down the stairs and breaks her leg, leaving her stuck in her brother's apartment - no elevator - until her it is healed).
Her brother has better things to do than to listen to her whining. He's got a cupcake business that, after his breakup with Aaron, he's running on his own. So she grabs some binoculars and explores the neighborhood.
CC sort of promised that she would go to culinary school, but since she doesn't feel like doing so, she instead takes a job as a barista at Johnny's L U _ C H _ O N E _ T E (in a later chapter the letters get fixed) and helps her brother out with the frosting when he's making cupcakes.
She has a few one-night-stands and a fling with Luis.
But is she really over Shrimp or does she want him back? That's what she has to decide when he suddenly shows up, New Zealand tan and all.
And will the new Buddhist Shrimp be ready for what she decides? At the moment, all Shrimp seemingly wants to do is draw and surf.
Cyd is overconfident, definitely acts first and thinks later, and although she thinks differently - she is not a grown-up yet, but still quite immature. Her parents don't know what's good for her, and are merely annoying. She takes pride in getting drunk. If she doesn't feel like doing something, she just doesn't do it. The problem of having unprotected sex and not wanting another abortion is easily fixed with a morning-after pill.
She's reminiscing with her friend (one of many pregnant characters in the book) about what happened to them that made them no longer such rebels. She's on her way to maturity, but she's definitely not there yet.
This is a very fast-paced book, jumping quickly from one situation or thought to the next.
I didn't read the first two books in the series, but I think that only one important part of background information was missing. Namely why lisBETH is spelled in such an odd manner.
Besides lisBETH, there are other interesting style elements in the book as well, though at times it feels like the author is trying little too hard to be unique. (I skipped the chapter that was written almost like a movie script.)
Shrimp's Haiku (spell checked by Danny, because Shrimp is severely dyslexic) and the author `trying to be hip' (for lack of a hipper term) become a bit annoying at times, but I guess that's what teenagers will like most about it.
As someone who doesn't drink coffee, I didn't really get CC's obsession with `the search for the perfect cappuccino'. I also found the book a bit too long. I went from being quite enthusiastic about it and speeding through the chapters, to getting stuck at about three-fourth of the way through, thinking "I really have to finish this". But I'm glad I stuck with it, because it got better again in the end.
Overall this is a fun, very fast-paced, read that's perfect for summer holidays on the beach (or any other occasion where short chapters like this are a plus). You can easily pick the book up and start where you left off, even after weeks have passed.

An exciting read
By Nico Brusso
Rachel Cohn, author of "Cupcake," has a fervent imagination, a feel for teen lingo beyond my grasp, hot-as-a-pistol scenes, and plotting that takes the cake. She convinces me absolutely that teens exist who personify her characters.
The narrator is eighteen-year-old Cyd Charisse, with a movie star name given by her mother. Family and friends call her by her preferred letter name CC, which is sometimes stretched out to Ceece. Her stepdad also calls her Cupcake.
The Good Book says "male and female created he them" and there is no shortage of such dichotomy seeking full unity in "Cupcake." Descriptions, though soft-pedaled, leave little out.
CC's San Francisco family also dubbed her the Little Hellion. At sixteen she had an abortion, and because of a shoplifting problem was ordered to do community service. She manages to graduate high school. Her Plan is to begin a new life in New York.
Tall, slim,and attractive, CC has been in love with only one boy ever since high school, pint-sized surfer-dude, artist, and high-school dropout Shrimp. He proposed marriage, but she let him go because he wants the waves in New Zealand and she wants the big city. Will they eventually get back together?
She heads to Manhattan to stay in the Village apartment of her older brother Danny, who has broken up with his longtime boyfriend Aaron. CC's chief interests in the big city are an obsession with finding the perfect espresso and jumping into "some sexual experimentation."
She wonders why she wants an "older owner guy when all these gorgeous young indie boys with spiked hair and fully kissable lips on stubble mouths are right in front of me?" She regrets letting Shrimp go.
Her new life Plan is thwarted almost immediately when she trips and falls down the stairs of Danny's apartment building, breaking her leg in three places.
She does notice the gorgeous EMT worker who helped carry her to the ambulance, and whispers her phone number to him. Trapped and recuperating afterwards in the apartment, she is cut off from her Plan, but does appreciate the attentions paid to her charms by the guys who bring her food deliveries from the neighborhood.
After her recovery, CC's amorous adventures, her trying to find a career not involving college or schooling, and her growth are exciting to follow. Rachel Cohn's book brings the characters alive. One has to marvel at the outcome. An exciting read. If one were rating this as a movie, one would have to caution about pervasive profanity and adult themes.

In search of a good cup of espresso
By J.C. Wallington
Cupcake is the third installment in a series for teenage girls. I was not aware there were two other books about Cyd Charisse, until I recieved this installment. While I had not read the others (and do not plan to), there is enough background information for this book to be able to stand alone. Author Rachel Cohn's main character Cyd Charisse has now graduated from high school and moved to New York. She is living with her gay, cupcake baking, lovesick, half brother, Danny. CC is she prefers being called is still struggling to find herself. She ditches culinary school and sits around eating cupcakes but not doing anything productive. She stumbles on a job as a barista on her search for a good cup of espresso in New York. She befriends her boss is Johnny Mold, a burnout owns the LU_CH_O-N-E_TE, and just holding the place open until the old man croaks. a cranky gay neighbor and finding makes amends with and develops a relationship with her biological father. CC's bad attitude and at times irrational behaviors makes her life in New York interesting, especially with the reappearance of her boyfriend, Shrimp.
While I did not find CC likeable, I bet the readers who this novel is intended for will find her as a type of hero. She was able to get away with and say things to the suthority figures in her life, that some teens can only dream about saying. As messy as her life was, CC was in a constant struggle to find her place in life. I thought the ending was wropped up a little too nicely and can give the false impression that bad behavior begets good results. This was an OK read for me, but I think for a younger reader, they would appreciate the life and times of Cyd Charisse a lot more.
