Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers
4.0
this was... a lot.
It was nothing like I expected, not as rom-com, light hearted but rather the opposite, a psychological deep dive. Finishing it felt like a warm hug, one of understanding and one that says "it's okay to not be okay". The last ~half touched me so deeply because I related to the struggles of being lost and feeling like the world and all the problems are too much. Not knowing where to go and how to he yourself is scary and terrifying and paralizing because you can never *truly* stop to find it out. The world keeps going and turning and somehow you have to keep going and learning with it. Reading this was exhausting, that's the word for how I feel after reading the last page, because it worked through so many of my own struggled within these pages. It feels exhausting and painful, but hopeful and comforting.
It wasn't a five star read for me because in about the middle of the book I had a phase of not enjoy it much. The half way mark was a bit of a weaker point for me, where I had to sit myself down to read instead of craving to continue.
However the New York crew reminded me of the found family, queer group in One Last Stop and that was wholesome.
