I usually shy away from books that may remind me of my past (I am logged on as my hubby)
But I am a woman who can still feel Cee Cee's pain and as I read, I was drawn to the story rather than wanting to close the book and cry. Ms. Hoffman's ability to step into uncomfortable skin and take us on this journey was inspired. She caught the feelings, personal thoughts, and shame that Cee Cee was experiencing. Had it been a typical story of woe; As apparently one reviewer would have preferred... I would not have been able to finish it. Ms. Hoffman knew where to put the humor...where to put the pain and accomplished it all like a seasoned pro. Written in Cee Cee's own words, I felt my younger self was being understood. The characters are bigger than life but not over the top, (I think I know a few of them!) and some of the situations that occurred made me wish I could step into the book and join them! Bravo Beth! Take a well deserved bow....ok....now where is the next one? LOL a fan VictoriaGet more detail about Saving CeeCee Honeycutt: A Novel.
