Received from NetGalley for an honest review.Sneaking Candy was a cute & sexy read. I've only read one other book by Burstein and that was Dear Cassie. This was a little more mature and less serious. Which is totally cool, I was expecting that.Candice is a grad student in creative writing. She also moonlights as a self published erotic romance author on the side. She's forced to keep this all a secret though because that sort of thing is looked down on by faculty and other serious writing students. She is a teaching assistant for her Professor and he's a total tool. Add to the mix, James her super hot student who she can't get off her mind.I'll admit, I had some trouble connecting with Candice. I'm not sure if it was because she's a writer and I'm strictly a reader. Or maybe it's because she was so frustrating about things like her relationship with James and her need to keep silent about her pen name Candy. She just didn't come off as all that real to me.The one thing that annoyed me the most was the Candy references.... I said / did this but Candy would have said / done this... . They weren't constant but frequent enough to get on my nerves.Over all though, I did really like the chemistry between Candice and James. I loathed her professor, but he is a key to this story and I loved seeing what comes of him in the end. Oh and her roommate is hilarious. She was for sure my favorite character.If you are looking for a funny read with a bit of hotness, definitely check this one out.
