Cake Icing, Butt Budder and Tea Lids by Renee Andrews


5 stars

This book made me laugh.  Not just a chuckle, but deep, belly-grabbing laughs.  I smirked, rejoiced, hoped and said, “atta girl” throughout the book.  This is a book that you will love or hate.  If you are the type of person that believes in love at first sight (yes, I do), family that sticks together can accomplish almost anything, a child’s dreams and hopefulness and that love is worth everything then this book is for you. 
Deliliah, an acronym for Deidre Edna Lucinda Isabelle Laila Ann Hiram, and Edna are sisters and the book starts with Delilah having a baby named Jezebel.  It follows the life of Jezebel and is told from her perspective.  It is broken into the three section noted by the title, Cake Icing, which is a happy wonderful life beginning and childhood.  Butt Budder, I’m not giving that away.  You’ll have to read the book to find out about this section.  Finally, Tea Lids, which is all about a happy woman named Daisey that changes Jezebel’s perspective on life and influences the way she chooses to live.  Give it a read; I don’t think you will be sorry.
