My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/756790960">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I debated for a good five minutes whether to give this book three stars or four stars.  I am feeling generous today so the book gets four. It was a very great story and I really enjoyed it a ton, but there were parts when I thought, "will this book ever end?"  <br>I felt so sorry for CeeCee throughout most of the book.  She had been through so much with her crazy mother and neglectful father.  I loved hearing her inner dialogue. Her thoughts reminded me more of an adult than a 14 year old girl.  CeeCee has some skewed perspectives and does some childish things that are more typical of a child her age. <br>Overall, CeeCee is a wonderful character and it is hard not to fall in love with her.  I also loved the Southern hospitality that welcomed her.  <br>No sex scenes.  A few mentions of nudity and one affair scene.  Mild swearing.

I liked this book too, but didn't LOVE it. I agree with you about it dragging a bit.

I think it was too much like "The Secret Life of Bees" for me, which is one of my favorite books. Have you read that one?
