A review by gormless
Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult, Jennifer Finney Boylan
2.75
I can really see how this book is so highly rated, it’s written very well with a handful of amazing characters.
HOWEVER. there are many things about it I didn’t enjoy.
For starters, I wasn’t really a fan of Lilly from the beginning. Every time it was in her POV I kind of zoned out wanting to be done with it. Then the sudden twist of finding out she’s trans and everything in her POV was about being trans. As someone who is trans this kind of annoyed me to a big peak.
Second of Asher’s back and forth of him being this dream boyfriend with a temper. I get that was kind of the point to make the reader guess if he was the one who did it, but it really just made me not like him at all.
Finally what really pissed me off was the ending. Maya really did it because she was into Asher yet she let him sit in jail for months. Then when she was on trial she lied and made it seem like he was abusive. Finally when it was all over she confessed everything AND SHE DIDNT GO TO JAIL?!
That just really pissed me off. Kind of is the reason for the low review. That and dislike for Lilly and Asher.
