34 Bubblegums and Candies is all about the author's experiences with life and is a collection of 34 incidents spread throughout her lifetime. Humorous at times with an equal mix of emotions and drama, there is always and underlying message for the reader in each of the narratives. she tries to show the various phases of human life through each story and does so beautifully.
As an example, the author begins the book through a small narrative regarding the death of her father and how she and her family came to terms with the tragedy. She doesn't try to tell a sad story rather it's the message behind the story that she tries to convey to the reader. Brilliantly written, each and every emotions is captured in an adequate manner.
The book reminded me of the movie Forest Gump. The author gets it spot on when she says that life is a little bit like candies and bubblegum. One must keep chewing to savor the taste that lies within. Sometimes the bubblegum may burst unexpectedly and one may be left with a sticky mess. These are the problems and unhappy times in one's life.
At other times, life is like a candy stick. One must lick it slowly and relish what it has to offer. Sometimes we greedily bite off more than we can chew and this we must learn to avoid. Sometimes we encounter a rare moment when the balance seems right and a feeling of contentment reigns supreme in all of us.
