The Sugar Queen

A friend recommended this book to me several months ago, and of course I went out and bought it, but didn't pick it up until last week when a teacher at my school mentioned she read it and really liked it. I really enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing with many twists and turns. The characters were so real and lovable- the kinds of people I could see myself in. Then, normally this would bother me, but it also had a bit of magic to it. Things happened in their lives that couldn't be explained and instead of making the story unbelievable, it made it even more enduring.
