At first I was bored by this book, but as it progressed I felt it was exactly what I needed to be reading. It tells the story of Grace and how even with a doctorate, she doesn't know what it is she wants to do with her life. The book explores her relationships, her timeline as she starts to learn about herself, and the need for vulnerability. Highly recommend

3.25. It’s a nice comfortable blue house with uneven trim, some squeaky spots, and just charming enough despite still needing a little work. Maybe I’ve done too much therapy and work to buy overly simplistic fights between short sighted selfish people, or maybe the tiffs in this book are a bit artificial. Probably a bit of both. Regardless, I’m an easy target for a story of lonely creatures chasing monsters. I’d probably marry Yuki as well.

(3.5/5) I almost didn't finish this book because boy, the first 1/4 goes real slow. I'm glad I powered through it, because it's a sweet, charming story with so many relatable elements: trying to live up to familial – and your own – expectations, racism in academia, love and found family, and a side helping of cryptids.

Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers is a romantic novel that feels a little different than a typical romance. It starts with a quirky set-up: Grace wakes up next to a stranger after a drunken night in Vegas. As she puts the pieces together, she realizes that she’s actually married this woman! Upon returning to her normal life as a newly minted astronomer on the job hunt, Grace realizes that she doesn’t want to go back to normal and sets out to reunite with her unknown wife Yuki in NYC. Author Rogers explores Grace’s frustrations as a scientist of color in a predominantly white field, the tense relationship she has with her ex-military father, and the possibility of finding love and respect in unexpected places. Honey Girl is a gentle, heartfelt story of self-discovery that’s perfect reading for a lazy summer evening on the porch.

4.5/5 This book was so much more than I expected it to be! Reading the synopsis of “drunk marriage in Vegas” did not even begin to capture the layers and depth of this story. Grace was such a well rounded, realistically broken character and I loved every second of her journey. From dealing with academics and entering the work force as a black woman, to learning to trust her parents again, opening up to and getting help and support from her friends, and learning how to let herself be happy and in love — this book had it all. Morgan Roger’s writing was so beautiful and captivating, I am so happy to have this book in my life at a time when it feels like everyone can relate to Grace’s story in one way or another.

A cute lesbian love story. But not enough romance for me

The romance was eh. I think it worked a lot better as book about not knowing what to do after college and feeling lost as a new adult. I really resonated with that aspect, and sighed when the romance parts came up.

Honey Girl is one of the stories that I did cry at. It seemed to embody the hopelessness that I felt, and wanting to be greater than you are along with all the depression of thinking that you’re failing what others think you are capable of.

It is one of my favorite books and something that I don’t think I could ever truly let go of.
