Title: The Sugar Queen Pdf A Novel
Josey Cirrini is sure of three things: winter is her favorite season, she’s a sorry excuse for a Southern belle, and sweets are best eaten in the privacy of her 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 her closet harboring Della Lee Baker, a local waitress who is one part nemesis—and two parts fairy godmother. With Della Lee’s tough love, Josey’s narrow existence quickly expands. She even bonds with Chloe Finley, a young woman who is hounded by books that inexplicably appear when she needs them—and who has a close connection to Josey’s longtime crush. Soon Josey is living in a world where the color red has startling powers, and passion can make eggs fry in their cartons. And that’s just for starters.
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.
Praise for The Sugar Queen
“Like the most decadently addictive bonbons, once started, Allen’s magically entrancing novel is impossible to put down.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Bewitching . . . Such a pleasurable book.”—Publishers Weekly
Strange story line, but it kept me interested enough to keep reading and finish the book This is an interesting book and I was happy enough with the ending. I felt it started off very slow, but the oddness of the first chapter got me hooked. But I went back and forth on my decision to finish the book or not. In the beginning it felt like I'd started reading at a midpoint instead of the beginning. I've never read anything else by this author so maybe it's just her style that I have trouble following.The characters were rather flat for the better part of the first half of the book, but then it picked up and I was rooting for one in particular. However, there were some pieces that never had satisfying resolutions. I kept waiting but it never happened. And when it seemed like they might, the book ended.I gave it three stars because she has a good writing style. I just think the story needed to be fleshed out a little more, especially because there was more than one storyline going on at the same time. I would have liked to say more, but I don't want to ruin the book for someone else with spoilers. Bottom line; well written and interesting premise once you actually figure out what the premise is. I'd try another of her books.You'll be delighted ... at every turn of the page ♥ I read all the reviews about this story getting off to a slow start and concluded that this seemed to be my experience as well. I just couldn’t wrap my head around Della Lee setting up residence in Josey’s closet. All through the story, something about her being there … in the closet … gave me some angst and yet … I kept reading.And if you know Sarah Addison Allen well enough from all of her other stories, you’ll stick with this one and I invite you to do so because at some point, the entire story comes together … like some kind of knitted sweater that seems to be coming together in pieces and then all of a sudden, the arms are attached to the bodice and perhaps the hem is knit in place and the collar is set to embrace the chest which demands a piece of artistic jewelry to complement the entire garment.Oh, my, goodness … this story is delicious! Every character … every conversation and every place and moment is knit together in the story so perfectly than when the story gets wrapped in its beautiful package, the reader feels like they have received the most precious gift … one that they will cherish forever!I loved this story! I loved it soooo much more than I thought I would and that my friend, was the precious, unexpected and delightful gift I received from finishing this book. I invite you, the potential reader, to take a risk and begin the journey to a place of no return and when you’re done … when you’re finished, you'll place the book in a sacred place … a place that will beckon you time and time again to pick it up and take another emotional journey to a place of peace, delight and refuge.Go ahead … you deserve it!
