Candy Jar

The genius of Candy Jar is not in how much of Lona and Bennett's journey feels new. It's the sense of perspective and even realism inherent in their story that makes a case for the ways we can learn and grow from failure and loss.

Though supposedly on the same side, Bennett and Lona will stop at nothing to one-up each other until ... well, what do you reckon?

Candy Jar is a surprisingly sweet and touching teen romance drama that goes down easy and had me craving seconds.

'Candy' turns out to be the most apropos way to describe Candy Jar. It's reliably sweet and empty, a fine choice for anyone looking for a light option.
