The Corner of Bitter and Sweet

Annabelle is the daughter of a famous actress who left a hit TV show to try something else , but has been hitting the bottle for the last couple years. Ben is a good friend , and has been in love with her mom for some time. He also has been like a dad to her since she has no clue about her dad. She also likes play-doh to help her cope through the day, and she loves lists.

 Janie and Annabelle are shopping in Whole Foods , when they run into Billy. He is a much younger , hotter actor , and interested in Janie. When her Janie gets a DUI and drives backwards..its time for her go to rehab.

This is Annabelle's and Janie journey with alcohol in their lives. Annabelle has been taking care of her mom for some time. Janie starts to see the error , but also steps it up to being a mom.

Annabelle loves to take pictures , and has gotten some very intimate pictures of her mom. Its her journal , and she is scared to show it to the world. Annabelle does something to help her mom , but it also changes her life too.

This book was light on the romance but more so about how alcohol can effect families. Annabelle also went to meetings to talk about the issues about her mom with other teenagers. This was alot like Gilmore Girls because it was the mother daughter relationship that grew and changed through out the book. Janie & Annabelle do both find some romance . This was a fast read, and I admit I cry during some scenes.

Book Review= B+

Thanks to Penguin for the Book and this is my Honest Review

This book comes out July 2

I admit that I have seen her Geek Charming on Disney and loved it
