Wow I really loved this book. I thought the plot was really interesting and I constantly was oscillating between thinking Asher was guilty and thinking he wasn't, which kept me right there with Olivia. I also loved the bee imagery throughout -- so much so that it made me think I need to learn more about bees! All in all a really interesting and complex read that taught me a lot about transgender issues in a tasteful way.

Mad Honey was unexpected and wonderful. It is difficult to read at times, because it is honest and raw. It will possibly challenge you, but in a way that everyone would benefit from. It is a book that will leave a lasting mark on me, and I would definitely recommend others to read.
