A review by kat_bookworm
Honeybee by Craig Silvey

4.5

My goodness, what a gritty, raw, heartbreaking story. 14yr old Sam is about to take his life, and he encounters a most unlikely new friend- and they save each other. What happens from there is a remarkable and heartwarming tale of friendship and acceptance. You name it, it probably happens in this book!

.

This isn’t a read for the faint hearted, but the writing is so incredible, and Craig Silvey has done an incredible job with a gripping page turner which evokes all the emotions. You really feel a part of the story, and become so invested in Sam.

I really loved Aggie, what a fun character she is!

If you enjoyed Lola in the Mirror, you would like this- it gave me similar vibes, yet ramped up 10x and without the magical realism.
