     Today, I come to my fellow readers with a MUST READ.... Don't argue with me just read it and then thank me later......

Like Candy, I am going to begin by saying...

I ate this book up like candy.

I know corny but THAT is how much I ADORED this book

First things first, the cover is gorgeous and because I have an e-copy I am literally thinking I might buy a paperback just to have the cover.. It looks awesome.

Onto the characters.. some main characters in this book were Candy, the narrator and her love interest Jonah. Some other important characters are the mean girl, Parker and Candy's backup girl Lea. Also, Candy's father plays an important role. 

When the book started I immediately got Alison DiLaurentis vibes from Candy but she turned out to be a REALLY awesome main character. I ended up really liking her. The only time that I was super frustrated with her was in this line...

"I knew Jonah and I weren't destined to become a couple or anything, but something sparked between us..."

Lord, Candy!!!! The book was narrated from your point of view from what I know you both are into each other so don't give me the whole innocent we won't be together thing because it is baloney. You can't say you won't be together but then say you had a spark!

Rant over, that issue was with Candy not Debra.

Moving on to another character Jonah.

He reminded me a little of Warner from Shatter Me. Only because it took time for me to warm up to him. I ended up really enjoying his character.

I liked the relationship between these two characters as it seemed realistic and neither one jumped into anything too quickly. They were both just figuring each other out.

Now onto Parker, she was really like a straight up Regina George. I didn't like her and I wasn't supposed to so that worked out nicely.

Finally, Candy's father. Honestly I was a little upset because the dad was really shady and he would not really tell Candy much. Candy was very honest (for the most part) with her dad and she is a really good kid. Some scenes I really wanted for her to just up and leave when I felt her dad was super cold and distant. 

I still liked the character as a reader because it added a really great dimension that I don't see often.

The book was an emotional roller coaster that I would ride again any day.

I need the sequel right now.

This book was awesome and I can't say much else but leave you with one last thing...

I read the book nonstop from about 6:00 to 10:30.

That's all
