GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • A soul-stirring novel about what we choose to keep from our past and what we choose to leave behind, from the New York Times bestselling author of Wish You Were Here and the bestselling author of She’s Not There

Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that 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 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 Ash, and as the case against him unfolds, she realizes he’s hidden more than he’s shared with her.

Mad Honey is a riveting novel of suspense, an unforgettable love story, and a moving and powerful exploration of the secrets we keep and the risks we take in order to become ourselves.

A wonderful look into something we may not understand

I’ve read some negative reviews before purchasing. People who felt that political views were being pushed by this story. I must say I disagree. Yes, a part of the plot may be something that has come up politically, however I feel both writers did an excellent job wringing a sad, but an insightful story. It’s a story I’ll remember for years. I’ve learned a lot from it and I hope others do as well.

amazing

loved every minute!! I hated having to stop listening and couldn't wait till I could get back to it!

I thought it was a murder mystery…

… but it’s not. Its a very personal story that can open your eyes, if you let it.

Wow

These authors left me on the edge of my seat. The story telling timelines was intriguing and took me a little while to figure out. The only sad thing is I finished listening to it in less than two days.

Stunning

As a already devote Jodi Picoult fan, I knew I was in for greatness, but that doesn’t even come to close to describing this novel. It’s moving, it’s informative, and it’s so well written I couldn’t listen to it fast enough. Highly recommend this book!

Great Story

Loved the story. Opened my mind and knowledge of transgender. I loved the analogy of right handed - left handed people.

Absolutely amazing book!

I cried, laughed, and felt so many awesome emotions while reading this book! Not only did this book help me SEE in so many ways, but I wish for every human to read this book! Jodi and Jennifer wrote this book in ways that everyone and anyone can relate AND learn. When I finished I literally cried with pure joy and sadness. As Jodi and Jennifer say at the end, I highly recommend and give this book as a gift to you!

Intriguing ! Great story

Fast paced intriguing mystery/love/educational story!
It is obvious that the 2 authors researched extensively!

Enlightening

This novel was so incredibly enlightening. I have friends who are trans and this novel provided such intimate insight into the emotional, mental, and physical journey a trans person may endure. Lily was such a beautiful character inside and out. Her mother and Olivia were also such inspiring women. Absolutely loved this one. Thank you.

Mad Honey

I loved this book. A real eye opener. I guessed the ending though. A must read.
