2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. the icing on the cake!By L.K.B.H.not having a sweet-tooth myself; i found ms. liftins ability to consume confectionary treats absolutely stunning. her ability to write about them is even better. this novel is filled with vignettes; each connected to a different type of candy; and somehow ms.liftin makes this gimmick actually work. several of the chapters had me giggling out loud--particularly when she asks why anyone would ever dip south of mentos on her mint-o-meter. she captures the bitterness of adolescence; the sourness of spoiled relationships and the spice of sheer pleasure beautifully; causing the myriad candies about which she writes to easily morph into metaphors for her life. a clever; intelligent and--yes--sweet read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This book is a yummy delight!By SparkinaA humorous yet at times poignant account of one womans life; loves; and confectionary favorites; from her childhood addiction to a homemade sugar paste; to junior mints; to Petite Fruits; Jelly Fruit Wedges; and frosting eaten straight from the can (I thought I was the only one who did that!) A factual account that is as entertaining as any fiction story i have come across. I recommend it highly. A real sweetie of a book!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. very sweetBy Mrs Carol NortonA sugary amble through the life of the author.
