A review by winterdevil
Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

Not rating because I skimmed just to get this over with, but the concept was so cool! I don't particularly understand why it was structured the way it was, as it straddles contemporary, literary, women's fiction and romance while not being entirely in one or another. I thought it was a romance, but the entire first quarter was dedicated to Grace's internal issues, as she completely forgot about the wife and what should have been--what I thought was--the inciting incident. There's a significant part of her story about walking out of a big, important interview which could have also been a starting point so that we understand Grace's story more of where she is and why before the marriage falls into her lap and forces her forward. Instead, we have both in a strange construction combined with strange characters that behave in disorienting ways. I understand what it was trying to do, but I don't understand why it was done in this way, with this cast behaving and speaking in this way.
