Saving CeeCee Honeycutt question

I read this awhile ago also! Really liked it. Big fan of Southern fiction

Throughly enjoyed this book. Wonderful characters-strong women!!! Read it.

It was charming and sweet. I enjoyed it so very much. The imagery puts you right in the story. It is a southern treasure.

I did read this book and I adored it!! I love all the characters. I would love to know if she has any new books coming out.

If you like stories like steel magnolias and fried green tomatoes, with interesting and quirky female characters, you'd like this book!

If you like Southern books you should love this book. I am a big fan of Southern lit so this book was a must read.

Yes, I've read "C.C. Honeycutt", and I absolutely adored it!! We read it for our book club, and everyone, really enjoyed it! It is a winner!

I just recently read this book, and really enjoyed it. I described it to my friend as a cross between THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES and THE HELP...i had it sitting on my book shelf for awhile before i decided to read it, and once i started i couldnt put it down.

I loved this book. I didn't want it to end, and kind of had to mourn the loss once I did finish.
I want to read more books like this, or even a sequel to this book would be awesome.

This is the truth, I am slightly embarrassed to admit it, but here goes-I have the goofy process of looking at the jacket and if they are pretty, or catch my attention, I read the back, and see if it is interesting. Then, I decide, take home or put back. It happens that "Saving CeeCee Honeycutt" had a pretty cover and looked interesting.
I used the audio version and the narrator was sensational. I like to sew while I read so the audio works amazingly well for me. Yes, I still love the feel of genuine, hands on paper books, but for the two for one benefit I get from CD's I use them too!
This was a happy/ sad book. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Our Book Group read it too. One member labeled it "fluff". But I like Fluff! It is also a feel good fluff. I read this a few years ago and it doesn't matter when you read a story, it is that we are reading that is the important part! So many books and so little time!

LOVED this book. It's an easy read, but such a great story. I wanted to take CeeCee home with me. It was one that had me laughing and touched my heart at the same time.

Loved this book. Great characters. Strong women take on the role of mentoring this child whose mother was mentally ill. Truly wonderful story. No reason not to read it.

Charming book. Child with rough life is saved by moving to the South to live with her Aunt. Easy to read and heartwarming book.

Did I read Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. . . . Yes I did some time ago but I loved it.

Loved, loved, loved this book. Cried all the way through.

I loved it! Have you read The Help? If so and if you liked it I think you will like this one too. It's an easy read that is hard to put down. I loved the characters!

Read it, loved it, passed it on to my daughter who read it and loved it as well! Both of us agreed that by page 3 you're hooked and may as well not plan to do anything until CeeCee's story is finished. It was really THAT good!

Liked the flow of the book and the characters

I have just finished the book last week. I really enjoyed the book and I also thought it was like a marriage between The Help and The Secret Life of Bees with a bipolar mother -in -law. I want to see this book made into a major motion picture with various big time movie stars playing all these female roles. That is what I kept picturing and maybe some young brilliant little actress and this could be like her break through role.

She does have a new book out. It's called Looking For Me.

indeed I did and I loved it!

This is one of my favorite books. I found it incredibly charming and touching, and I loved all of the characters. It was a great novel to escape into.

Oh my Gosh, this book was SOO amazing!! Funny, tearjerking, and full of southern fun, 5 stars!! Can't wait to read it again!!

I read this book right after it came out and love it. Great story and I agree with the audio read, very good.

Wonderfully surprising and engaging, this novel is a Southern delight that tells the coming-of-age story of CeeCee Honeycutt.

Twelve year old CeeCee has lived a lonely and heartbreaking life. CeeCee’s mom, Camille, has mental health issues and the young CeeCee is her mother’s sole caretaker. After a tragic accident, CeeCee meets her Great Aunt Tootie. Tootie soon convinces CeeCee’s deadbeat dad that CeeCee will be better off living with her in Savannah. Savannah is a new and wondrous place, a place where CeeCee can mourn her mother, while also finding little glimpses of happiness.

Bittersweet, sad, charming, and endearing, this novel would be perfect for your next book club.

Hey, I had not been in a coma either but just ran across this one on the library shelf one day. It's very enjoyable and I was left with the feeling the CeeCee Honeycutt would be ok. I wasn't so sure at the beginning of the book. It' set in the mid-1960's I think and CeeCee is about my age. I sort of put myself back to that time and compared my relatively idealic life to what hers was before Aunt Tootie came along. Cheers for Aunt Tootie. Boo to CeeCee's father, but I don't think he really knew what to do with a little girl.

I agree I loved this book and found some of the characters to be enchanting oh and Aunt Tootie - don't we all wish we had an Aunt like her in our life?

A beautiful book with a very endearing main character. I LOVED CeeCee!!

I liked it! It was very intriguing and I would definitely recommend it. It is a cute story and I really enjoyed it.

I read at the beginning of last year and loved it. CeeCee is a lovable and witty character you can't help to fall in love with. I highly recommend reading.

I liked it. I was a good story that mixed emotional issues and humor. The characters were great, and the story was well written.

Loved, loved, loved this book, and boy did I want one of Oletta's Cinnamon rolls every time I picked the book up!

I couldn't stand it. I only finished it because I paid money for it. It is cheesy and boring. Don't bother.

If you liked the "Secret Life of Bees", you'll love "CeeCee Honeycutt"!! Especially the audiobook. Jenna Lamia is awesome.

I did not find this unrealistic as someone who lives with a mentally ill parent. I would recommend it, it's cute and enlightening.

Love the scene with the snails, I laughed so hard picturing it !! Very, very good book, I recommend it to everyone I can.

Read it and loved it . . packed full of southern charm.

I really loved this book!!! It made you wish you had grown up with Great Aunt Tootie in Savannah with all that Southern charm!!! Wonderful book!!!

I read it awhile ago and really loved it. Loved the imagery and of course the characterization. Looking forward to more books by this author.

Yes. My book club 'did' this one just last night. It launched among other topics, a discussion about homeless school age children and just how they can go so long without anyone noticing. Or if they do what can be done beyond feeding them and trying to get them into a better situation.

We also all have a Savannah fixation so this played right into that too!

Recommended and I concur with and am interested in all the people who relate this to The Secret Life of Bees in one way or another.

Cheesy or not, who can resist a story, and it is a story, about the Vidalia Onion Queen and all the other slightly off center characters?

I read this book and thoroughly enjoyed the strength and honesty of the characters. They were a joy getting to know. The story pulled me in and the ending made me smile and shed a tear.

I read it and really enjoyed it! Give it a try!

I liked it, didn't love it. I liked a lot of the characters, and Aunt Tootie was a hoot. I thought there were too many adults in the story and wished that CeeCee had found a friend her age much earlier in the story. It was summer and there was bound to be many kids around for her to interact with. I thought the beach scene, though profound, was a little out of place. I know these things went on and were horrible, but it was a weird scene for me in the context of this book.
I do like how CeeCee takes to her new life and it was a sweet, charming story.

I really loved this book. The characters had such depth. One of my very favorites. Do she have anything new out?

Insipid and unrealistic.

I read this also. One of my favroites! I so wanted to take CeeCee into my home. I could be freinds with the wonderful ladies in the book.

I did read this and I loved it. It was realistic but with a sense of humor dotting though out and a optimistic ending. I love all the lady characters they're so lovable and quirky, and even the "hussy lady" character cracked me up. Especially the incident with the slipping and falling on the porch--but I won't say anymore. ;)
