Publisher's summary

Though she has blossomed into a beauty, Lily Christner doesn't really believe it. Deep down she still feels like a lonely, gawky teenager. Maybe that's why she's all but promised herself to Paul Glick, the one boy who never teased her in her awkward girlhood, unlike Dan Kanagy, whose creative name-calling left her in tears many a time.

Now he's back in town after two years away and being surprisingly sweet - making Lily unsettlingly yet deliciously nervous. It seems Dan wants Lily's forgiveness...and her heart. But can he convince her - not to mention her protective schwesters and aendi - that despite the past, her future lies with him?

Good

I really enjoyed this story. Though the main character was easy to like the thoughts she had were at times difficult to read. I just wanted to step into the book & say “you are better”.

Enjoyable !

Like the three sisters and Aunt B … she is a great character so hopefully we learn more about what made her so! Looking forward to next story to see if we learn (for sure) who’s behind the vandalism & who wins who’s 💕

This is a long book but I enjoyed every minute of it. The narrator was great. I can't wait for the next book. I love the humor in the book.

Narrator needs Deutsch lessons

What made the experience of listening to Sweet as Honey the most enjoyable?

The story line was excellent.

What did you like best about this story?

The author made the characters seem real.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was a bit annoying because she mispronounced so many of the Deutsch words....for instance, "Die" is not pronounced as the act of dying, but "dee" and it was infuriating every time she used the word. Several times I had to turn the book off because I couldn't deal with it.

Any additional comments?

I loved the story, but the narration was something else.
