I'm so glad this was a Book of the Month club pick for February. First of all, this cover is GORGEOUS. I'm obsessed with it. But I'm also obsessed with this book too because it was a journey. I read it in two sittings, about five hours and I'm already regretting zooming through it so quickly. I love romance stories, but Honey Girl is not only a romance. It's about all kinds of love, the pressures of wanting to live up to our parents' expectations, the reality that comes with being a BIPOC (which I cannot personally relate to I know), and the struggle of finding where you belong.
I think you should read this book. I think that I am not quite the same person I was at the beginning. Accepting myself as someone that is not heterosexual has been hard for me since I was a teenager because I was raised in the bible belt, and I'll probably never be fully out with my family, but these books always remind me that I don't need to hide. That's a gift.
And the fact that Porter and her friends always say how they love each other, I love that. It should always be normal to tell your friends you love them. I know I cannot pick a favorite thing about this book, but this struck me from the beginning and stayed with me the whole way through. I can't wait to read whatever Morgan Rogers releases next.
Also, that acknowledgement at the end about LJ and FFN, I see you and I salute you.

This book really made me feel like I was looking in a mirror, almost. I loved the growth that the main character went through in all parts of her life and it wasn't just a "this is a prefect relationship" storyline. This book is now one of my favourites

This hit for me at just the right time, and was exactly what I needed to be reading. Some repetitive descriptions but a great debut novel overall
I was excited to read a novel written by a queer author about two women falling in love. I was sadly disappointed. Rogers's flowery language obscures the character development, making the plot seem implausible and the characters unreal.

I liked the idea of the story, but I just couldn’t get into it, or honestly couldn’t bring myself to care about these characters. This book covers a large amount of need-to-be-discussed topics but maybe there was just too many and it took a lot of space in the book and left little room for a story to actually happen? I don’t know.
It was just simply all falling a bit flat to me, and the writing style is just not my cup of tea.
I’ve got to say I did like Luki though, just not enough to keep reading.

A little sickly-sweet with prose but very adept a describing mental health issues that come up in the modern era.
