sheilareads_'s review against another edition
In the acknowledgments Rogers says that her writing is like a bright blue house. She states that there will be people who will find it a bit too much for them. I am definitely one of those people lmao. Honeygirl was just not my cup of tea. The characters just didn’t feel genuine or relatable. It felt like Rogers was pandering. The book felt very shallow. The dialogue and exposition was awkward in certain areas. I didn’t feel like I gained anything after the book ended :/

I only want to comment on the ending so.
SPOILER COMING:
So basically…
I feel a lot of disappointment in how it ended because I was really looking forward to the lunch conversation with her father. After alllll of the pressure she faced from her dad (and what feels like the underlying issues that carry her throughout the book), it feels wrong to not address or give the reader more closure on the matter. Was that one phone call supposed to do it for us?

this felt rather like a morality tale--which can be fine at times, but is completely not what i was primed to expect--and i really didn’t appreciate the joke(?) fairly early in the book about psychiatric patients sexually harassing nurses.

First off, the Acknowledgement section in the back was lovely. Secondly, the book left me wanting more. There were a lot of topics that hit close to home for me, a little too close. Either way I liked it. Wasn't sure at first because of the repetitive phrases at the beginning, but it all worked out. Makes me cheer for every character
