The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen - is one of the best books I've read lately. It is a southern story sprinkled in fairy dust. Josey Cirrini is no southern belle and her mother won't let her forget it. She still lives at home trying to make amends for the horrible child she was. Things start to change for Josey when she finds Della Lee Baker living in her closet one morning. Della Lee pushes Josey to leave her protective shell and start to live a little. That is how Josey meets Chloe Finley who needs a friend in the worst way. Now if Josey can work up enough courage to do more than just stare at her cute mailman life will really be looking up. Of course, how long will Della Lee be living in her closet? That can't go on for much longer.
