In this irresistible follow-up to her New York Times bestselling debut, Garden Spells, author Sarah Addison Allen tells the tale of a young woman whose family secrets?and secret passions?are about to change her life forever.
Twenty-seven-year-old Josey Cirrini is sure of three things: winter in her North Carolina hometown is her favorite season, she?s a sorry excuse for a Southern belle, and sweets are best eaten in the privacy of her hidden closet. For while Josey has settled into an uneventful life in her mother?s house, her one consolation is the stockpile of sugary treats and paperback romances she escapes to each night?. Until she finds it harboring none other than local waitress Della Lee Baker, a tough-talking, tenderhearted woman who is one part nemesis?and two parts fairy godmother?
Fleeing a life of bad luck and big mistakes, Della Lee has decided Josey?s clandestine closet is the safest place to crash. In return she?s going to change Josey?s life?because, clearly, it is not the closet of a happy woman. With Della Lee?s tough love, Josey is soon forgoing pecan rolls and caramels, tapping into her startlingly keen feminine instincts, and finding her narrow existence quickly expanding.
Before long, Josey bonds with Chloe Finley, a young woman who makes the best sandwiches in town, is hounded by books that inexplicably appear whenever she needs them, and?most amazing of all?has a close connection to Josey?s longtime crush.
As little by little Josey dares to step outside herself, she discovers a world where the color red has astonishing power, passion can make eggs fry in their cartons, and romance can blossom at any time?even for her. It seems that Della Lee?s work is done, and it?s time for her to move on. But the truth about where she?s going, why she showed up in the first place?and what Chloe has to do with it all?is about to add one more unexpected chapter to Josey?s fast-changing life.
Brimming with warmth, wit, and a sprinkling of magic, here is a spellbinding tale of friendship, love?and the enchanting possibilities of every new day.

An unexpected surprise -  |
The Sugar Queen Review |
|
This was the first book I read by this author. I wasn't expecting too much other than a good read during these chilly weeks. I got exactly what I hoped for. This book makes for a very interesting read. It incorporates so many different genres including romance, mystery/thriller, magical realism, etc. I honestly couldn't put this book down! The author does an excellent job of weaving together many characters, while simultaneously giving us enough story line about each character so that we really know who they are. I was amazed how she was able to create such a rich story in only 276 pages with a large font and double-spaced paragraph breakers. I definitely have become a fan of Ms. Allen, and will purchase her first novel, Garden Spells, and her upcoming novel, soon.

This book is a nice read. The characters are lovable and interesting. The book flows nicely and has that touch of magic that the author is becoming famous for. I would recommend it. |

The Sugar Queen is SWEET. - |
The Sugar Queen Review |
|
I really liked this book. Like one reviewer, I did not think the storyline was weak at all. I read openly and to be entertained, not for some deep, DaVinci Code-ish plot. Sarah Addison Allen is great. I bought both of her books on the same day and am anxiously awaiting the release of her third book in May 2009. Josie is a FAB character. Her mama is so, old school staunch. A bit obnoxious. |

Weak Storyline -  |
The Sugar Queen Review |
|
I found the storyline in this book pretty weak. It was a struggle to keep my attention. It got better towards the end. |
