Bought into the hype & purchased this book. Only to find the story included a transgender issue, wife abuse and the weaponization of the law against an innocent man. Both reminiscent of current negative politics occurring in the country. Such a turn off. The Bee keeping was the only nice part of the novel.

With help from her co-author, Jodi Picault, presents another page-turner. In her usual style, she keeps readers guessing as to whether or not a crime has been committed, who is responsible for the crime, and at the same time educates us on a current issue affecting many people in our communities. The back story of a single mum raising her only son, whilst earning her income as a bee-keeper and strawberry farmer, also provides interesting and enlightening information about the bee kingdom. I commend this book to readers who like mysteries and enjoy the drama of court-room battles.

This is so much more than just a novel. The depth, respect and tenderness the authors have written these characters with, is testament to the authors integrity, intellect and compassion. Mad Honey is entertaining & expertly written but more than that, it is a case for tolerance and kindness in this world.

I read this book then let it rest in my mind for a bit before I put my thoughts to paper. It's just that kind of read. So many current hot button topics are explored, all revolving around the murder of a transgender teen and the cis gender love interest. Was the teen killed because of the knowledge of being transgender or was there something else going on? Told from two different outlooks, one from the transgender teen prior to the death, and the other from the mother of the teen accused of the murder. This jumping back and forth was a bit difficult to deal with at first, but got more easily understandable as the book progressed. A conclusion that wasn't altogether a surprise and if you were looking, you could kind of see it coming. It seems like every hot topic was ... MoreI read this book then let it rest in my mind for a bit before I put my thoughts to paper. It's just that kind of read.

A conclusion that wasn't altogether a surprise and if you were looking, you could kind of see it coming. It seems like every hot topic was touched upon, LGBTQ, abortion, abuse, gender issues, and others. The book was good, but not my favorite from Jodi Picoult, but only because I think it was a bit too long. I was very happy to find out at the end why she partnered with Jennifer Finney Boylan. A great story as well. As Ms. Picoult admits, there will be many people who do not like this book just because of the topics being raised. I enjoyed it, even if I did think it a bit drawn out.
Olivia and Asher move back to her family's farm in New Hampshire after her father died of a heart attack. She has to take over the bee hives as no one else in her family has the knowledge. When Asher is a senior in high school, he dates Lily. Asher as a Christmas present for Lily surprises her with her estranged dad. Lily is upset, is offended, and can't believe he has done that. After that meetup, Lily is out of school because she is sick and refuses to respond to Asher's text. When Asher goes to check on her, he finds her dead at the bottom of the stairs. But is it what it appears? Did he really kill her or was he the one who just found her? Will he be accused of murder? A deeply emotional story that will have you turning pages to find out Asher's fate.Jodi ... MoreOlivia and Asher move back to her family's farm in New Hampshire after her father died of a heart attack.

A deeply emotional story that will have you turning pages to find out Asher's fate.Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan take heavy hitting/controversial topics and weave them into a powerful story. It's not an easy read and very emotional. Not a book that everyone would enjoy, but would make for a great book club pick!
I loved Mad Honey, especially since I was a bee keeper. Jodie was very accurate with her knowledge of bees and I also learnt quite a few interesting facts. The book intertwined a number of different topics and running analogies with the lives of bees.
I probably would not have read MAD HONEY if I understood the topic up front, but I am so very thankful I accepted the invitation to read this book. From the very first sentence, I was completely drawn into this story about love, family, friendship, personal secrets, a trial, and ultimately, knowing and being true to yourself. There is absolutely nothing I would change about this flawless novel by master writers Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boyland. I especially appreciated both of the Author's Notes at the end of the book. I will certainly read more novels written by these authors. I received an advance review copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.
Picoult has been my favorite author for decades, but I was disappointed with this read. You’re 200 pages into the 400 page book before it’s introduced to the reader that the true story is about transgenderism, and that continues to be the primary focus of the book for the next 200 pages. If you’re looking for a classic Picoult novel, this is not it. If you’re looking for a story on transitioning, this is the book for you.
This book is about Olivia, who has divorced Asher's father due to domestic violence. Olivia is worried that Asher could have inherited his father's tendencies. This book is about Asher who falls in love with Lily, who is found dead from a traumatic fall. This book is about Lily and her mother, Ava. Ava, who only wants her child to have a meaningful life and relocates the both of them to get away from Lily's father. This book is about a murder trial with Asher facing a lifetime in prison and the secret that Lily and her mother have kept from the community.This book dropped me in my tracks, completely surprised me and I barely caught my jaw before it hit the floor.

Using a mix of past and present, the events that lead up to Lily's death is parceled out to the reader, resulting in a very suspenseful read. Not only is it suspenseful but it is also a book that educates. Once again, the author tackles a volatile issue that is prominent in the United States today. I give kudos to the authors for opening my eyes and "hearing" what needs to be said in regards to our world today. I have written an honest review in exchange for the DARC I received from Penguin Random House and NetGalley.

Mere days after eighteen-year-old Asher Fields has found his girlfriend of three months, Lily Campanello unconscious at the foot of her home's stairs, he is arrested for her murder. His mother, Olivia McAfee doesn't hesitate to call her older brother Jordan to help. A renowned lawyer, Jordan instantly abandons his vacation to defend his nephew.While Ava Campanello is convinced that Asher is responsible for her daughter's death, he vehemently denies harming her: he loved Lily. The young man spends time in jail awaiting trial because Olivia can't raise a million dollars in bail.Watching as her son deteriorates, she bites the bullet and calls her ex-husband, a charming, wealthy cardio-thoracic surgeon who proved to also be a violent gas-lighting control freak. She had felt relieved to remove herself and Asher from a marriage that felt "Like someone stabbed me and then blamed me for getting blood on the knife."Olivia has no idea that her son has been meeting Braden Fields once a month for breakfast, although Asher's best friend, Maya describes him as "not a nice man, Lily. He's just figured out how to imitate one." He does efficiently come up with the cash and hovers in the background despite a restraining order.If Lily and Asher had wondered just how well one can know a person after three months, fleeting gestures and expressions Olivia recognises from her earlier life have her privately doubting the earnest protestations of the son she has raised for eighteen years.Jordan and his wife and legal investigator, Selena strategise with Asher and Olivia on how to defend the case which, without witnesses to Lily's death and scant trace evidence, looks largely circumstantial, until a shocking courtroom revelation that makes it even more imperative that Jordan inserts the element of doubt into the prosecution's case.The story is told through alternating first-person narratives that start on the day of Lily's death: Olivia's describes the aftermath; Lily's goes in reverse, returning to the events that lead up to that day; both include flashbacks.Picoult Is especially skilled at endowing her characters with almost instant appeal through their banter and little incidents. By virtue of her occupation as an apiarist, a wealth of interesting bee/honey facts is subtly woven into the story as Olivia relates what is happening in their lives to what she knows best.Olivia and Ava, women who have both escaped toxic males and might otherwise have had a strong rapport, are now at odds. Lily is an especially fascinating character, clever and observant, who notes that there is a vast canyon between who we want people to be, and who they truly are. "People always talk about how their love for you is unconditional. Then you reveal your most private self to them, and you find out how many conditions there are in unconditional love."Picoult never shies away from challenging or controversial subjects, and while some readers may find this an uncomfortable read, it is certainly topical. As always, the research is thorough and apparent on every page. These authors present a very balanced and informed view that asks: "How similar does someone have to be to you before you remember to see them, first, as human?" and also to consider the distinction between secrecy and privacy. The twelve delicious-sounding honey recipes are a bonus addition to this informative, moving and thought-provoking novel.This unbiased review is from an uncorrected proof copy provided by NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton.
