between 3 and 3,5 out of 5.
Honey Girl is a raw story about finding your place in the universe, and while it has some very beautiful prose, I didn't really connect with the story... The story is very character-driven and explores deep feelings but something was missing for me to care more about it.
I'm still keeping an eye on Morgan Rogers' career.

I'm in two minds about this book. The writing would drop these fantastic poetic lines which were lovely to read, but they were strung together by an uninteresting plot line. I just wasn't invested in the characters and their journey; the conflicts felt baseless. It also felt repetitive at times - the same metaphors or ideas would be brought up only for nothing extra to be added? So while the words were pretty, it did get tiring to read. One BIG PLUS of this book however was the physical affection and care we get to see between the characters and their friends; the way these friends show their care for eachother is lovely and gentle (apart from when they are miscommuncaiting violently).

"Grace takes a breath. It is August. The twenty-ninth year of her life is about to begin, and there is still so much she doesn't know. It is the scariest thing in the world."
Grace Porter is a girl who is lost, depressed, and slowly burning out like a candle until there's not much left. After finally getting her PhD, Grace struggles to find her place in academia as a black, queer, female astronomer and it sends her to Vegas where she drunkenly marries a cute af stranger named Yuki. But to go into this expecting a rom-com is to be sorely disappointed because Honey Girl was so much more than that.
This book was real and vulnerable and so so honest that it broke my heart in places. From our protagonist to the surrounding friends, family, and love interest - everyone has a bit of loneliness and brokenness and less-than-perfectness about them that makes them human and I just loved that. Honey Girl is about self-love, found families, unexpected happiness, and figuring out that scary unknown future.
Thank you so much to Harlequin for the ARC because I will be recommending this book to everyone I know.

“It seems so absurd, but when you’ve known people for so long, you know how to love them, and you know how to hurt them. You know all the soft spots where your claws dig in and press.”
This book was everything that I needed at this moment in my life! Grace Porter had so many layers and Morgan did a wonderful job telling her story. I identified with the pressure that Grace faced and needing to take a moment to step back, slow down, and figure some things out. I also appreciated all the diversity that was presented in the book. So many of the characters felt like friends or people that I’ve met at some point in my life.
If you’re looking for simple, easy, and enjoyable read - definitely check this out! You won’t be disappointed.
