this has got poor dialogue and repetitive prose and imagery that felt so fake deep and quirky. the characters are interesting in theory but they do not function or act like real people and they become to annoying so quickly and there are like ten side characters that could have been condensed into three or four. grace as a character is far more interesting in the last quarter, but has one personality trait up to that point (she has to be perfect!). yuki’s podcast is interesting but it only serves as a gateway for shoddy prose about the monsters within us and she is a blank slate beyond that. also the single sex scene in this is so.... anyways.
i did appreciate how grace’s self-harm was handled. i also actually really liked the last quarter and the exploration of grace’s relationship with her mom and step dad, but it could not redeem the first 250 or so pages like please who in real life calls their besties and lovers and CHILDREN by their full name in casual conversation like what in the wattpad

Honey Girl, on the outside, looks like a fun queer romance. And it is! But there’s so much more than that. There is tons of diversity in this book from every angle—race, sexuality, gender, pasts, and mental health. It was refreshing reading from so many flushed out characters. Many of them were flawed, but they were lovable all the same.
When Grace wakes up from a night celebrating in Las Vegas, her friends are gone, and there feels to be an indent left on the bed. Soon, as she looks at her ring finger, she realizes there’s more behind this than a drunken hook-up. She married someone.
The relationship between Grace and Yuki was only part of this story. We also see the tense relationship between Grace and her father, the racism Grace deals with being a woman of color in STEM, Grace and Yuki’s amazing friends, platonic friendships and relationships. Platonic love. It was beautiful.
This book may not be for everyone, but it was definitely for me.
CW for racism, self-harm, emotional abuse, and mental illness (including a brief hospital setting)
