Recipe and Review: Mostly Good Girls
Sometimes, you just need a pie.
My buddy Sarah (second from left) needed a pie.
And not just any pie.
A coconut cream pudding pie.
Coconut, pudding, sugar, graham cracker crust…pure comfort.
Because sometimes, you need pure comfort. Like friends and sugar.
In the YA book Mostly Good Girls by Leila Sales, the friendship between Katie and Violet has withstood a seriously tough prep school, boy drama and family troubles. But their senior year, Katie begins to change in ways Violet can’t understand–and isn’t sure she wants to.
As a girl with few and treasured girlfriends in her life, I understand how important it is to have fabulous women in your life. The greatest gift is to have a woman that will stand by your side, wipe away your tears and make your life.
And share a slice of pie.
Did you know the Gift is on Kindle and Amazon?
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! Mama Kat’s next week–for now, you can wait for Friday Five and a new edition of Blue Eyes! Stay tuned!

One of the Knight’s favorites. It appears to be of the (non-meringue) variety he loves best.

A good pie and good friends are better than nothing else in this world (maybe except for good spaghetti, but that’s just a me thing).

I could use a slice of pie right about now! Sometimes pie is all you need, a good friend to share it with is a bonus.

I never had that kind of pie before, but I love coconut – so sounds good! That book sounds good too. I read another book you suggested recently – The Iron King. And really liked it – waiting to read part 2 – but my library doesn’t have a copy yet. Hope you have a nice weekend

I’ve enjoyed coconut cake many times (its my childhood favourite), but I’ve never had a coconut pie. I need one i think.
