The Sugar Queen b y Sarah Addison Allen

This is the second book by this author. I liked her first one, Garden Spells. This one also has some weird things that happen to the characters. Josey is 27 and lives a rather depressing life being at the beck and call of her mother. (The mother was the only character I didn't care for - but even she became more human as the book progressed). Josey's escape is the cache of romance novels and candy hidden in her closet. One day she finds a woman hiding in there. Her name is Della Lee and she a local waitress who has fled her life. Della Lee tries to help Josey change her life even though Josey is quite resistant.
In short, this is a book about love, family, friendship and weird happenings.
