Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this heartwarming story about the transformative power of an unlikely friendship. I didn‘t like either of the main characters at first, one was arrogant, grumpy and rude, and the other was weak and spineless. But as their friendship grew, they each also grew in positive and satisfying ways. By the end, I was cheering for both of them. Tip - Don‘t miss the author‘s note at the end!

It‘s #hyggehour but i just finished my book… i wish Litsy had a “it‘s complicated” rating. It really took me a while to care about the characters of the book. But i love the book within a book theme- even though there are all animal based dishes and some vegan mocking- i could get to the gist and enjoy the idea. I did ultimately enjoy the characters by the end and am glad i read it. Good choice @julieclair

Oh my goodness, @Chrissyreadit ! My #jolabokaflod swap box was beyond all expectations! Thank you so much!!! I am SO excited! 🥰📚📚🥰
Thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting this fun swap!

Finished in January for my virtual foodie blogger book club. Although the MC Kate annoyed me & I would the 97-year old Cecily too gruff & grumpy to like at first, they both won me over & I ended up enjoying the book. I was going to make a carbonara as my book-inspired dish but ended up throwing together a quick Shrimp Scampi with garlicky, buttery pasta after work one night & ate it on the couch with chopsticks because it was that kind of month.⬇️

Kate‘s life isn‘t going at all as planned, but thanks to meeting Miss Cecily and working her way through a very special cookbook, things begin to slowly turn around and Kate starts to see her life with fresh eyes. As her self worth grows, so do her expectations for herself and her own life.

I think this sums up the takeaway from this delightful novel. I quite enjoyed it. The audiobook is lovely as well.

97-year-old Cecily on why a 40-year-old youngster 😏 should be a very happy camper 🤓

@Louise Thank you for the bright ray of ☀️ in my mailbox today!! 💛 You always have the neatest, most unique wrapping paper. 😊 I was happy to hear from you and get caught up with you in your letter. I owe you one real soon.

I‘m looking forward to reading this fun-sounding book. The cover alone is a real spirit lifter!

Thanks again so much sweet #LitsyPenPal . 💕😘

It is a heartwarming story of an almost 40 year-old woman in denial of her love life and life itself meets a 97 year-old woman facing her last days and together build a friendship that changes both of them. I didn‘t want it to end. An amazing story of food, love, and finding ones self. Miss Cecily is a hoot, and I loved her. A very touching read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kate, teetering on 40, is stuck in pretty much every aspect of life. For a much-needed distraction, she starts volunteering at an elderly ladies‘ home and meets Ms. Finn - a blunt, lonely 97 year old. I think you see where this is going. Utterly predictable with a satisfying outcome, but about 100 pages too long. The quirky cookbook references saved this for me. And I wish the Author‘s Note had been an Introduction instead. #bookclub

It‘s that time of year! Back to living at the soccer complex. ⚽️😂

📚✉️: Miss Celicy is my IRL book club‘s March selection and the Marvel-Verse comics are for my boys. They are slim collections of famous/relevant comics focusing on a central character. Very cool! My 8 year old immediately cracked open Iron Man.
