Marni (wonderwmn999) The group has been approached by author Elizabeth Famous for a Read 4 Review of her book Love and Candy by Elizabeth Famous Love and Candy.

Samantha Montclare is not who she thought she was. Straitlaced and academically minded, she's knocked to her knees by an unexpected infatuation with the star of her local soccer team just as she discovers that her biological father is not the loving dad who raised her but a forbidding Italian aristocrat.

Within the social hierarchy of a wealthy suburban high school, Delaney Troy is so superior to naive Samantha that she can't speak to him without provoking obscene taunts from his friends.

Delaney is gorgeous, but much of Samantha's fascination stems from his brazen honesty and bristling wit. His air of confidence inspires so powerful an interest he draws her in without even looking at her.

But how could she possibly date a guy like Delaney who insists he only wants to hook up -- and doesn't believe in love?

Will the scandalous truth about the circumstances of her conception threaten her happy home life?

Must she find a place in her life for an alarming new "father" just as she’s becoming an independent young woman?

Elizabeth Famous (elizabethfamous) | 13 comments Just to add a little more information about the book:

Love and Candy is an edgy tale that’s been called “too real.” It’s a contemporary NA/YA romance about a young woman’s coming of age and takes place in the sexually-charged environment of a posh high school. The novel doesn't shy away from the gritty details of the main character’s first serious relationship and deals with very adult topics, such as homosexuality, statutory rape and ménage. The love interest is a seriously tortured guy, nothing like a prince charming.

Elizabeth Famous (elizabethfamous) | 13 comments Thus far I have received tons of feedback on Delaney and how his behavior toward Samantha made the reader feel and etc. I would love to get my some comments about:

1) The soccer scenes (including the date)

2) The first sex scene (and first date)

3) The threesome reunion

I'd appreciate this feedback a lot.
