Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I know for a lot of people there was a major twist in this story. That wasn’t the case for me because I had read books by both of these authors and I had a reasonable way to guess the twist. Putting that aside, this book was one of my favorites of this year. I know a lot of people complained that it was “all the issues” but I didn’t think that way. Life is complicated, many people are experiencing a lot of these issues at once and none of these are issues for a novel, they are part of real life. Abuse, divorce, bullying, meanness, parenting struggles, and identity. All of these are way more common than we might wish they were. The relationships and experiences in this book all felt real to me and were handled with so much tenderness. I loved every single moment i spent with it.
