A 'will they or won't they?' for the older ladies, Candy Life is a sweet as a barrel of tabasco and honey. Don't get me wrong, as far as this genre goes it wasn't awful- but there was something left to be desired as the climax of the series hit, and the plot got rolling.

Story- as said above, the story seemed to be too slow at first and then BAM! climax and then BAM! story is over. Which is sad seeing as the story had so much potential. However, It was still enjoyable.

Art: I picked this one up just because the art is to die for from Manga-ka Ogawa Yayoi. Josei lovers will know her for titles like Kimi wa Pet, and this story has the same beautiful art. Love it.

Character: as said above, I wish this were a little longer. Just as we were getting a little growth- the novel was over! It seemed rushed toward to end and it was a little jarring to the system.

Overall- This is worth it if you love the manga-Ka and just HAVE to read all the Josei you can. Otherwise, you can pass this one on.
