Mad Honey

by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan

Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult tackles a weighty, timely subject with care, and I found the choice of topic both bold and meaningful. While some narrative choices may not have fully resonated with me, I genuinely appreciated the depth of research and nuanced understanding that clearly went into making the story feel believable and grounded. The exploration of identity, truth, and second chances carried an emotional resonance that felt all the more impactful because of its thoughtful construction.
