A review by jenniferbbookdragon
Mad Honey by Jennifer Finney Boylan, Jodi Picoult

emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Picoult and Boyle (both well known authors of multiple bestsellers) team up to weave a story from 2 different perspectives: one, Olivia, a middle-aged single mom; the other, Lily, a teen girl dating Olivia's son. The story is told along 2 different timelines but it is done so  well it is easy to follow. Multiple characters are given rich histories and I could almost smell the honey in Olivia's beehives.
