Costco Picks Saving CeeCee Honeycutt

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman

Pennie Clark Ianniciello, Costco’s book buyer, has chosen Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman as her pick of the month for November. In Costco Connection, which goes to many of the warehouse club’s members, she wrote:

“I’m not one to judge a book by its cover, but I admit that a title may have some sway over me. From the moment I first heard the words Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, I knew I had to read Beth Hoffman’s debut novel. And believe me, am I ever glad that I did.

“From beginning to end, I loved this book. I dare anyone not to be charmed by 12-year-old CeeCee. When her mother is killed in an accident, CeeCee is sent to Savannah, Georgia, to live with her great-aunt Tallulah Caldwell.

“CeeCee finds herself living a life of privilege surrounded by a bevy of colorful and larger-than-life, eccentric Southern women.

“Not only are the characters the kind that stick with a reader, but Savannah seems to take on the status of a character with scenery that’s a far cry from CeeCee’s native Ohio.”
