5.0

First of all, I wouldn’t approach this as a romance even though it’s being marketed that way. I’d consider this a Contemporary New Adult. 

I knew I was holding a 5-star read before I finished the first chapter. It started as a fun, light hearted tropey that quickly became a portrait of the millennial experience as a driven, queer, person of color.

Overall, Honey Girl is a story about how our missteps can become opportunities for new beginnings.  This story felt like one I’ve heard in the voices of people around me but haven’t seen on the page yet. While this story does get heavy at times,  it’s easy to fall in and devour this story.

More often than not this book felt like looking in the mirror, with the mixture of relatable experiences and humor. This book will be on my mind for a while and well worth the read. 

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for providing a free copy of the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
