The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen (5/5)
It's hard to find those books that you really connect with and The Sugar Queen was just one of those. The author's writing makes it easy to identify with the main character Josey and root for good things to happen for her. The daughter of a wealthy family, her father passed away when Josey was young and feels like she needs to make up for her rebellious childhood by taking constant care of her demanding mother. In turn, Josey is sad and lonely - drowning her feelings in sweet treats (something I think a lot of us can sympathize with!). When she wakes up one morning to an unexpected visitor hiding in her closet, things in Josey's life begin to change.
I wholeheartedly loved this book! The authors breezy writing made it the perfect book to bring along on vacation. Easy to pick up and start reading where I left off, but kept me engrossed enough that I couldn't stop until I finished it one morning while enjoying the view of Lake Superior from the deck of our vacation home.
Totally recommend! Both the book...and the relaxing vacation on the North Shore :)
