The Secret to Hummingbird Cake
The Secret to Hummingbird Cake | Celeste Fletcher McHale
Why wont you just tell me whats in that cake? Id been trying to get Laines recipe for years. We all had. When all else fails, turn to the divine taste of hummingbird cake. In the South you always say yes, maam and no, maam. You know everybodys business. Football is a lifestyle not a pastime. Foodespecially dessert is almost a religious experience. And you protect your friends as fiercely as you protect your family even if the threat is something you cannot see. In this spot-on Southern novel brimming with wit and authenticity, youll laugh alongside lifelong friends, navigate the sometimes rocky path of marriage, and roll through the outrageous curveballs that life sometimes throws . . . from devastating pain to absolute joy. And if youre lucky, you just may discover the secret to hummingbird cake along the way.

I pretty much claim all cakes in decemeber as birthday cakes for me (I mean technically this was made for the ‘bring a plate‘ style Christmas feast we had today at work)

Very delicious! I‘m almost sad that I‘m not working tomorrow because I won‘t get any leftovers 😂

Finished this audiobook is one sitting! It was sooooo good, but definitely emotional and heart-wrenching. I finished it off, with tears streaming down my face, while trying to make notes on grieving for my Working and Communicating in a Medical Workplace class. Audiobook 5/30 for #BookFitnessChallenge #BFCR2 #FitWizards @wanderinglynn

I laughed until I cried and I cried from sadness. Both things I don‘t do often while reading. This is the story of three besties, an “indiscretion” and cancer. It‘s set in Louisiana. It‘s “Christian fiction” but I didn‘t find it to be very specific to that genre - the God parts seemed to flow with the story. There are some problematic themes around race and class. Overall I recommend it. #readwomen

A bit of a tearjerker, but lovely story.

Jess_Read_This I loved this! When I reviewed it on GR the author reached out to me to comment on my thoughts. She is amazing. She wrote this book based on events in her life and the tear jerking parts became more tear worthy knowing these were real people. 😭 7y

Very much not my thing, but probably the case of me being the wrong reader for this as other readers here on Litsy have loved it.

A very southern story about three lifelong best friends. They love each other fiercely. They face an unbearable loss with tears, love and humor only best friends share. This was a sweet way to spend an afternoon. #friendship #romance
