Looking for Me: A Novel

Winner of the 2014 Ohioana Book Award for fiction.

The latest New York Times bestseller by the beloved author of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt

Beth Hoffman's bestselling debut, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, won admirers and acclaim with its heartwarming story and cast of unforgettably quirky characters. Now her flair for evocative settings and richly drawn Southern personalities shines again in her compelling second novel, Looking for Me.

Teddi Overman found her life's passion in turning other people's castoffs into beautifully restored antiques. Leaving her hardscrabble Kentucky childhood behind, Teddi opens her own store in Charleston. She builds a life as unexpected and quirky as her many customers, but nothing alleviates the haunting uncertainty she's felt since her brother Josh mysteriously disappeared. When signs emerge that Josh might still be alive, Teddi returns to Kentucky, embarking on a journey that could help her come to terms with her shattered family--and find herself.

I really enjoyed this book from go but it wasn't what I expected. I loved Saving CeeCee Honeycutt so was excited to read this one. The characters weren't as colorful in Looking for Me as they were in Saving CeeCee Honeycutt but they were very well developed and you really got invested in their lives. I recently traveled to Charleston so it was fun revisiting the city in the book...Beth Hoffman did such a great job of describing the character of the city. I did expect it to be more of a mystery around her missing brother, but I loved the way it ended both well tied up but also left with a little bit of mystery. Definitely a good read.
