The Candy Papers

Rate this book
If there's one thing Kenisha Lewis has learned, it's that the people you think you know best often surprise you the most. And not always in a good way. It seems the revelations just keep coming. First, her grandmother and her dad are having money troubles, which means she'll probably have to stay in public school and get a part-time job. And then there's her boyfriend, Terrence, who has more secrets than she could have imagined. Kenisha can't believe Terrence is dumb enough to get mixed up in a string of robberies. Or that he'd cheat on her with his old girlfriend. Or could it be that she just doesn't want to admit the truth? Where Kenisha goes, drama follows, but she's getting stronger and smarter every day. And she doesn't plan on getting played again

Upbeat warmhearted story about a sensible young girl named Candy who works for a dream boss Otto of Otto’s Market in a colorful Jersey neighborhood. Bullied by both her mother and best friend to quit for bigoted reasons - the fellow shop owners are a wild ethnic bunch , and also for selfish reasons - both her best friend and mother are bored and lonely. Candy refuses to compromise, she loves her busy lifestyle. And when Otto puts up a sign saying help wanted - a new stock boy ads some romance to a deserving do-gooder like Candy. One of my favorite FLFS! Lively characters give romance the back burner , not that you’d notice it’s too much fun! - For a full review and a glimpse at the cover- check out my site http://cliqueypizza.wordpress.com/
