I love this book so much, I recommend this book to anyone who asks for a book recommendation
Honey Girl feels like a balm to my soul. I really feel like this is for anyone in their 20, or even anyone at all who is struggling with loneliness and anxiety and trying to fit broken pieces into some semblance of having your shit together. It's about self-acceptance, and learning to find what's best for YOU. I wasn't expecting this book to make me feel the way I do after finishing, or to CRY, so it's absolutely a winner.
Also, this book has been falsely marketed as a rom-com! There's definitely romance and comedy but this one is more focused on self than anything, which was a pleasant surprise.
In Honey Girl, we meet Grace Porter, a recent astronomy doctorate graduate faced with seeking her place in a world that's even harder than the difficulty of eleven years of school. She's been pressured by her dad, Colonel, to be a Porter - perfect and following the plan, never quitting or running like her mom always did. But when Grace goes to Vegas for her 28th birthday, she drunkenly marries Yuki, a mystery girl who leaves only a radio show calling card and a photo behind. Their marriage is the first real thing that starts to unravel Grace's plan as she seeks to figure out what the fuck comes next for her after disappointment, an incessant need to be and have the best, and her perfectionism lead to a perfect breakdown.
This book is hella diverse and queer, btw. Tons of found family to be found here, so if that's a preference for you, definitely pick this up. Also plenty of diverse mental illness/mental health repsentation! Slight trigger warning for self-harm, though it's nothing too graphic - just to be aware.
I really enjoy the way Morgan Rogers writes both dialogue and prose; she's great at the zing and banter but also at breaking hearts and digging right to the guts of Grace's issue in searing, wanna-underline-every-word sentences. I am thoroughly impressed by her debut and absolutely looking forward to what comes next.
Also, oddly enough, if you're waiting for Casey McQuiston's One Last Stop, try picking up Honey Girl. Having now had the pleasure of reading both, there's a similarity in both book's main characters and their individual journeys. Totally different experiences, but the vibe is there.
I definitely want to buy this one! It's such a good book, and the type that feel like a comfort read. So glad I picked up Honey Girl!
