finnmiles's review against another edition

emotional hopeful informative sad medium-paced

4.75

A beautifully written book with so much you can learn from it. The story telling was astounding and the education given about trans and nonbinary people is unlike another book I've read. It wraps love, grief, suspense, hope, loss, and learning all in one wonderful package. I would recommend this book to just about anyone I would meet. Be sure to take a look at content warnings as well. The book deals with many heavy topics, including but not limited to transphobia and domestic abuse. 

As soon as I learned Lily was trans, everything she had went through made so much sense to me. Reading this as a nonbinary person was so life changing in a way. Seeing the way trans people are spoken about and the education this book brings is something everyone needs to witness. I love Lily, I love the fight she put up to win her life back, and I will always think of her.

The biggest thank you to Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan for this collaboration. The world needs more humans like you and books like Mad Honey in it. I will absolutely be buying my own copy of it. <3

I love everything about this book.  The characters and the story.  Beautiful and devastating.  Eye opening and informative.  Like a typical Jodi Picoult book, chapters have two different points of view and story lines that are written perfectly.  I highly recommend.

I'm just so tired of the mere existence of trans people being a "shocking plot twist."
