Book is Wither by Lauren DeStefano (thank you Kris and Jessica)

Read anytime from 2010-2019 probably. I remember it had a couple different books, one of them being about the heroine going to/getting kidnapped by this circus group. I think the heroine is looking for her brother? In a later book (the one I remember the most about), the heroine gets married to this man who has a couple different wives already. One is a younger girl and another is an older woman. The older woman befriends the heroine and is helping the husband poison the heroine using blue jolly ranchers (or a similar candy). The heroine escapes somehow but the husband gets her back because she's being poisoned and I think she might have a tracker on her? In the husbands basement, there's like a lab or something. I don't really need to read it again, I just keep thinking about it and I'm interested in finding out the name of the series.

I don't remember jolly ranchers, but maybe Wither?

It was a blue June Bean. I'm not quite sure how I got to Jolly Ranchers though. 😅

Glad you found your book, Kenzie.
