I was just randomly searching for these words and found a book with sugar in the title about an influencer set in Michigan! It's like they wrote it for next year's challenge. Two Parts Sugar, One Part Murder
Apparently there was a previous year with a similar prompt, "pop, sugar, or challenge" in the title, and a longer listopia:https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
I highly recommend In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan. I read it for this prompt in the earlier challenge. It's become a favorite book.
Salt and Sugar is my pick for this prompt. I've also read and enjoyed The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp.

Ohhh I've been wanting to do a reread of Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild for a while, so I think I'll just push that to 2026!
A TBR search coughs up Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us and Culture: The Story of Us, From Cave Art to K-Pop.Or, I want to get clever about it, Remnant Population.
If anyone hasn't read the Wayward Children series, the third is Beneath the Sugar Sky. Although it's the third, the first two would each fit for at least novella and teen angst, possibly some others.
From the previous Listopia, they had Murder on the Sugarland Express, which looks like it can double as a travel ghost story.
If you are interested in reverse harem or even just trying it Blood Sugar is one of the best I've read.For some cute seasonal reading Maple Sugar Crush

LOL that was my favorite Dr Seuss when I was a baby. Perhaps I'm due for a re-read...
