Type of read: Commuter Read.

What made me pick it up: Jodi Picoult is an author who will always have a place in my TBR pile.

Overall rating: A broken love story for the 21st century. 'Mad Honey' gutted me, like to my core, gutted me...but that's not an uncommon occurrence when I open a Picoult book (one of the many reasons they are one of my favorite authors). I loved the detail and purpose that was included in 'Mad Honey.' It wasn't just words on a page, it was diving into the life of the main character. It's walking with them as they live out the story. It's crying with them when they hurt and laughing with them when they find themselves in those horrible yet hilarious situations. I'm so thankful that Picoult and Finney Boylan came together to create this beautiful telling of life, love, finding oneself, losing everything, and finding a way to pick up the pieces. I would 100% recommend 'Mad Honey.'

Reader's Note: 'Mad Honey' includes and in some instances describes in detail, self-harm, harassment, physical abuse, death, and LGBTQ+ themes.
