Coeur Vanille by Cathy Cassidy
3.0
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.
