NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Sarah Addison Allen, the author of the critically acclaimed debut Garden Spells, weaves a narrative of a young lady whose life is about to be irrevocably altered by family secrets and hidden desires in this captivating book.
Three things Josey Cirrini is certain of: she loves winter, she is a lousy excuse for a Southern belle, and desserts are best enjoyed in her own closet. Although Josey is content with her boring life in her mother's home, she finds solace in her stash of sugary sweets and paperback romances that she curls up with every night. That is, until she discovers that Della Lee Baker, a local waitress who is equal parts fairy godmother and nemesis, is hiding in her closet. Della Lee's harsh affection causes Josey's limited world to rapidly widen. She even develops a link with Chloe Finley, a young lady who has a strong relationship with Josey and who is tormented by books that mysteriously materialize when she needs them. Soon, Josey will be living in a world where passion can cause eggs to cook in their cartons and the color red has shocking properties. And that's just the beginning.
Full with warmth, humor, and a hint of magic, this is a captivating story about love, friendship, and the magical possibilities of each new day.
Thank You, Sugar Queen
