Josie Cirini has a simple life, but she thinks she is happy. She works by day, returns to her room in her mother’s house by night, and secrets romance novels and sweets into her closet. It is in those dark confines that she feels the most alive, sipping syrupy drinks and licking powdered sugar from her fingers as she watches another relationship unfold. When she finds a local waitress in her closet, however, everything changes. Unable to get Della Lee Baker to leave and too afraid to have her secret revealed, Josie begins stepping out of her comfort zone. Along the way, she solves a mystery, find a true friend, and sparks a romance of her own. Is there life outside of her closet?
Allen is a master of new American magical realism. Her stories are full of sparkle and magic, endearing heroines and amazing characters, and lots of good clean fun. Her debut novel, Garden of Spells, introduced readers to Allen’s trademark blend of Southern charm and mystical romance, and this volume will not disappoint her faithful readers.
