Coeur Vanille by Cathy Cassidy
5.0
Words alone can not express how i feel for this book. I myself can relate the most with Skye: we have similar personalities, only she's way much more cooler! But the plot in Sweet Honey hits too close to home.
Used to think your father is the coolest person who's done nothing wrong? Yeah, sure. Was daddy's little princess once upon a time? Count me in. He left to leave on the other side of the world and build new family? Mine too but he still live in the same country for my case. Found out in a hard way that the perfect man i thought i knew is, was, and has been a cheater since day one of marriage? Another check. I even shed a tear or two at some point because i can clearly understand what honey feels at that moment.
But somehow all of that doesn't matter because like Honey, i also have the most wonderful mum in the world. Like Charlotte, she's trying so hard so we can still be happy despite of everything. Charlotte Tanberry and my mum are the re definition of Wonder Woman, and god forbid there are lots of women out there who's like them: have a plate full of lemon yet they can still be strong and survive they even manage to turn the lemon into sweet lemonade
Hence why Sweet Honey is my most favourite book from the chocolate box girls series. Reading this book gave me sense of belonging. Yes, Skye and Honey might be a fictional character, but on them i could find a friend that i need, a friend that teach me how valuable life is even if you think yours is falling apart.
I'm not sure you're gonna read this, but I want to thank you from the deepest of my heart, Ms Cathy Cassidy, for writing dozens of books, especially the chocolate box girls series, and especially Marshmallow Skye and Sweet Honey. They helped me cope, i can't even count how much i reread Marshmallow Skye because i love it SO much.
