"Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life-living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising a beautiful son, Asher-was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in, and taking over her father's beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start. And for just a short while, these new beginnings are exactly what Olivia and Lily need. Their paths cross when Asher falls for the new girl in school, and Lily can't help but fall for him, too. With Ash, she feels happy for the first time. Yet at times, she wonders if she can she trust him completely . . . Then one day, Olivia receives a phone call: Lily is dead, and Asher is being questioned by the police. Olivia is adamant that her son is innocent. But she would be lying if she didn't acknowledge the flashes of his father's temper in him, and as the case against him unfolds, she realizes he's hidden more than he's shared with her"-- Publisher's description.

Propaganda submitted by pdlesko on November 1, 2022, 8:04pm Written as a fairytale of trans life, death and acceptance, this book is solid reading until the mystery kicks in. It then becomes ridiculously out of touch with reality.
Good, Fast-Paced Read submitted by adimarzo on June 12, 2023, 8:06pm Mad Honey is a good, fast-paced read. The characters are well-developed and the writing is very good. I enjoyed learning a little about bee culture and beekeeping as well.
Timely
submitted by kkjammers on June 20, 2023, 11:26am
Mad Honey is quite a creation: co-written by two talented writers, it follows the story of Olivia, beekeeper and mother; her son Asher, high school hockey team captain; Lily, new student to the New Hampshire high school Asher attends; Ava, Lily’s mother, a forest ranger; and many other characters. It was a compelling and heart-felt story. Occasionally, it bordered on preachy, but it is a worthwhile and educational novel.
Unlikeable ending submitted by hiker15 on July 14, 2023, 9:28pm A girl dies and someone is tagged as the killer. But is that person the killer? On and on and on and finally the ending arrives. And it is unsatisfactory to everyone but one person. Lots of angst and drama in this book.
a compelling read submitted by laurenalysse on August 7, 2023, 6:16pm I went into this book knowing very little about the plot. There is a class Picoult twist, and the story as told in reverse by Lily, a teenage girl, and in forward by Olivia, the mother of the boy who dated her. The courtroom drama was interesting, if not entirely believable. That being said, I'm glad this book was written and that I read it.
Worth the read submitted by cdeucher on August 23, 2023, 7:25am An interesting combination of authors - not a Picoult fan, adore Boylan. Together they wrote a compelling book.
