Journal entry for 2/23/10:
The Sugar Queen, by Sarah Addison Allen
Started 2/9/10, finished 2/14/10.

Recommend? –
I would definitely recommend this book – especially for someone wanting a good, fun, easy read. Allen’s first novel Garden Spells, also a delightful little romp – and was awarded the 2008 Southern Independent Booksellers Association award for Best Fiction. The Girl Who Chased the Moon will be released on March 16th….good spring break reading!

Memorable quotes:
Comments and thoughts:
I really enjoy the mystical elements Allen uses in her stories. In The Sugar Queen, books appear out of nowhere (how lucky is that?), women have premonitions and strong feelings when their true loves are near, and dead doesn’t really mean dead. Love has a powerful, intoxicating quality in the novel, felt and acted upon by each woman, not always to their benefit.

Have you read The Sugar Queen? What did you think?
