KERIS & HELEN'S SUMMER READS 2008: The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen

The_sugar_queenIn just under one month's time I will be able to get hold of The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen, a book I have been looking forward to ever since I read the last page of Garden Spells. This is my third recommended Summer Read (although where the summer is in the UK I really don't know).

It isn't a sequel to Garden Spells, but is about Josey who has a stockpile of sweets in her hidden closet which she devours every night, along with paperback romances. Then, one day, she finds local waitress Della Lee Baker hidden in there. Della is a tough talking, tender hearted fairy godmother who has decided Josey's closet is the safest place to be. In return she is going to change and expand Josey's life.

I listened to this as an audiobook because my library had it in that form first, and I absolutely loved it! I was a little sad to discover that the audiobook is abridged, though. But I do have the paper copy of Garden Spells to look forward to!
