3.0
Jodi Picoult always writes a page turner and there is always that twist. I always say I'm not reading her books anymore because there is always something really heavy, hard to read and then I pick another one up anyway. I did like parts of it but the ending bugged me. I felt like some of the other reviews that it seemed like it was checking boxes to include as many topics and triggers as possible and it rubbed me a little the wrong way.
I was glad to see a mainstream author co-write with a transgender author, they need more exposure and to see a big story about that community. I hope this helps more people understand they are just people and stop trying to legislate them out of existence.

I loved it! Couldn’t wait for the next chapter. I haven’t read a book that fast in quite some time simply cause I needed to know the ending!

While first reading this book, I thought, "meh." And then I got halfway through...massive plot twist that made the book so much more nail biting and thought provoking! I couldn't put this book down. "Mad Honey" also takes on the LGBTQ+ genre with poignancy and care while staying literary and entertaining. My only complaint is easily refutable as I admittedly know little about the justice system, but the incompetency of the police department and plaintiffs seemed a bit unrealistic to me.
