I adored the brother-sister duo. The way that they worked together and have held on to each other through all the hard times is great. Ms. Pearce captured such amazing teen voice in a whole new way.The plot line of this book is awesome! I loved the spin Ms. Pearce put on the tale. Every turn of the page, gave you a whole new aspect to the classic tale. The reader sees things in a whole new light bringing forth a new story to read.

I found myself sucked in quickly in the world of Sweetly and could not get out.I found the love interest in this story very bittersweet.
