Honey Girl
by Morgan Rogers
Okay I’ll keep this synopsis brief since I have so many words on how I feel about the book.
Grace wakes up in the morning in Vegas and finds she has married a girl she met the previous night and remembers nothing. What a beginning! But the book changes direction completely when we follow Grace home and see how she is living life trying to find a career and a place in the world as a black, queer, women in the world. And how she can find a way to overcome her anxieties of trying to please others.
Oh my word I loved this one. I wasn’t sure how I felt at first because the writing style is a bit different. But it’s almost poetic and it was so beautiful once I really allowed myself to get into it. This book at times made my think of The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. This is probably my favorite sapphic novel I’ve read. I haven’t read many but this takes the cake. Grace is an astronomer and her wife, Yuki, hosts a radio show where she talks about the supernatural. Omg I was jealous of them both and their badass-ness.
And this book is perfect for millennials who have been in that place or currently in the place of feeling lost and unsure of the future. Our purpose, our plan, and the pressures of life.
So much representation in this, I loved the diversity of characters. I loved the relationships and love expressed through all of these characters: family, friends, room mates, lovers.
And did I mention mental health? Oh my this book hits the nail on the head on mental illness. I related to both characters in this who battle mental illness. It speaks highly of medicine, therapy, and the importance of a support system. So so good. I recommend this one for anyone looking for a beautiful sapphic love story. A story of finding ones self. A story about mental illness. Or a story about friendships and family.
