This is a beautiful coming-of-age story, set the in mid-1960s in Savannah. I'm quite partial to Savannah, and really savored the vivid descriptions of the beautiful architecture and gardens that populate its many squares. I also love most any novel set in the South. I don't know why it appeals to me so much, but I can't help but be drawn in to its sweltering locales populated with the most extravagant folks you'll ever meet. And "Saving CeeCee Honeycutt" is certainly populated by some interesting ladies! I certainly laughed a lot as CeeCee became acquainted with her neighbors. One note on this book. Some have said it's almost a YA novel. And, I would agree with that, but there are some more "adult" scenes that pop up that keep it from being totally YA. I do think a high schooler would probably highly enjoy this novel (as would just about any adult needing an escape into a colorful and warm world).
