I had no idea I was reading a tale of addiction at first. The book was a chance download. I did notice the constant sugar comsumption, but Wells presents it in a very sympathetic way.I loved the sympathetic and sensitive portrayal of the main character. She was not a perfect person, and even made a few poor decisions. The idyllic Southern life was also well depicted. The constant descriptions of delectables in this book will probably make you crave pie. The prose is nice and crisp, too.I liked the unclear plot a bit less at first, and more character development of the supporting castwouldhave been nice. Implications of their personalities were done well. The ending wasa bit rushed, but its foreshadowing was excellent.This has to be the best book on an addiction I have ever read. As a person who is both overweight and has a degree in Addictions Counselling, I admire the courage of this book. The central character deserves a sequel. 5 stars and nothing less.
