A review by themermaddie
Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

5.0

this book slapped me across the face, hugged me, and told me to get therapy.
dude, seriously though, i cried all the way through the last 30%. just like, nonstop alternating between full on sobbing and just happy leaking. maybe this book is my final sign that i need therapy.
grace porter lives somewhere warm and golden inside my heart, sludge and all. this little novel of love, self-care, mental health, and privilege is so much more than i couldve ever expected it to be. i love all of grace's friends, they are a big beautiful queer poc family and i want to be best friends with all of them so bad. grace's relationship with her parents is so nuanced and hurt my heart so bad, morgan rogers does such a fabulous job of describing relationships in so few words.
and the WRITING, ugh, is so lovely and flowery and poetic, it just flows like music. yuki's storytelling especially is so captivating, i would definitely listen to her radio show.
maybe the universe has a plan for me too, because this read was exactly what i needed.
