The Sugar Queen - Sarah Addison Allen

I loved this book. This book is so sweet, it'll make your teeth hurt. But it felt good to read this after the last uber depressing book that I read. It's a love story with a little magic mixed in. Of course, I think love always has a little magic. That's sappy, isn't it? Anyway, quick disclaimer, if you don't want to know what happens, stop here.



Josey Cirrini is a 27 year old woman, who lives with her mother in Bald Slope, NC. Josey loves 3 things: winter, candy, and her mailman, Adam. The mailman, of course, barely notices her. But she waits for him everyday and hides in her closet reading travel magazines and eating candy. One day Della Lee Baker, a tough talking waitress, shows up in Josey's closet. Della Lee sees that Josey needs a change and helps her get out of the closet and into life, so to speak. She sends her to Chloe Finley for a sandwich. Chloe has a gift of her own, books magically appear whenever she needs them, not always when she wants them, but always when she needs them. Josey and Chloe become close and Josey ends up having to save Chloe from herself. So, Della Lee saves Josey, Josey saves Chloe, but who saves Della Lee? You'll have to read it to find out. It's a quick, easy read and lots of fun.
