Guide Review - They Say She Tastes Like Honey
They Say She Tastes Like Honey by Michelle Sawyer
In the first 20 pages, Macy breaks her leg, saves a cute girl from being mugged, the girl follows her home, they make love and she moves in. If it sounds like this book moves at a face pace, you've got that right!
Macy, Manhattan socialite and playgirl, falls hard and fast for Faith. But you never quite see what Faith, a cute, smart, sweet girl, sees in Macy, a heavy drinking, status conscious, workaholic.
In addition to everything else that's going on, Macy's best friend is dying of cancer, and her own life is a wreck. She's walking around, sicker than a dog and refuses to take care of herself. It isn't until she loses Faith and ends up in the hospital that she finally slows down. But is it too late to win the girl back?
