Stealing Candy is an extraordinary novel by Allison Hobbs. Hobbs takes a departure from her erotic stories to delve into a very serious topic: teen sex trafficking. This is a very timely story that needed to be told. Each of the young victims in this story came from a variety of backgrounds. They also were tricked into this tragic lifestyle by very different means. This book should open up a dialogue between parents and their children about sex and about trusting people who may not have their best interests at heart. Hobbs did a good job of creating memorable characters that you will root for. Some of the scenes in this story are so realistic that they will leave you speechless. Although the subject matter is uncomfortable, Hobbs does such a good job with telling this story that it’s actually an entertaining novel. Allison Hobbs has created her best novel to date with Stealing Candy.
