So absorbing and the best of the series. I dont know if it is the last of the series or not (I hope that it isnt) but one of the best books I have read in a long time, really related to Honey's character and this is the book I have most anticipated out of all the characters. Feel like they are my own family. Definitely a way to end on a high note! I'm so glad I have stuck with this series from the very beginning!

I loved the book. It has many topics that need to be told. Cyberbullying, harassment, and eating disorders. Cassidy has got the characters, plot, and storyline down to the point where there is little scope for improvement.

As usual, Cassidy doesn't fail to deliver an entertaining and easy read with more than just teens going through ridiculous and cliche problems. What we are presented with are actual issues with each book and I'm almost 100% sure readers can relate on some level with one of the Tanberry sisters.
It was cool to finally get Honey's point of view and story on everything that has happened since the first book. You get to see her more of her likeable side and how she deals with her dad, cyber bullying and being away from her family. She's quite a unique character and kept the story interesting.
The end has me a little puzzled because I feel like we're left with a cliffhanger but no other new sisters to narrate the story if there was to be a new book. If there will be a sixth book, I wonder who our main charter will be?

I finished this book in one go! Finally seeing from the point of view of Honey, it was really interesting to understand why she does the things she does, and if she really is the cold, rebellious girl we know. We understand her feelings and thoughts. What a great read!

Honey was always the Chocolate Box girl I related the most to. I also think I'm a little bit like her, still.

Probably my favourite in the series, we follow Honey after the events of ‘Coco Caramel’ as she moves to Australia to live with her Dad. A fresh start. But can she run away from her past?
Really enjoyed the setting of Australia. Although I love Somerset, it was nice to have a change of scenery.
Honey is probably my favourite character in this series. I feel like she’s the most complex character and she really grew up and learnt her lesson in this book. It was a ‘boy who cried wolf’ situation where Honey realises that despite turning over a new leaf, her past actions have consequences and you have to really prove that you’ve changed. It also took living with her Dad to see that he’s not the hero of the story and that he actually did some pretty terrible things.
Also loved Ash, not much to say about him, he’s just a really nice guy and sees past Honey’s many facades.
This was also definitely the most interesting plot out of all the books so far. There was a sweet little romance, family drama, and cyber bullying which were all great plots. I felt this book conveyed a clear message to young readers that whilst the Internet can be a wonderful place, you have to use it wisely and carefully.
Overall, my favourite in this series. I still couldn’t give it more than 3 stars as I don’t think it’s that original or special. But it did have a good message and the target audience would probably love it.

I was especially interested in reading a book set in Honey's perspective and I wasn't disappointed at all!
Behind her rebellious, sometimes mean facade, Honey is, in fact, a pretty lost teenager... Cathy Cassidy pictures this very well and managed to make me feel all sympathetic towards Honey.
I also really liked the Australian setting and Honey's new friends (isn't there a way to get Ash back in the next book? I will miss him!). The "be careful of the Internet" message didn't feel TOO forced and I think it could even be useful for tweens reading this series, so well done!
And lastly, the big twist in the end makes me feel like reading Fortune Cookie ASAP so, really, a success all over!

This is about biased review.
I love HONEY! She’s my favourite sister. The story hits too close to him with dads affair.
Honeys character development is the most interesting, she changes despite being the most stubborn across the books.
I know a hundred honey’s and so I feel she’s very realistic even though I’ve seen a lot of criticism of her realism which I guess it’s a London thing
