Here Is the Beehive by Sarah Crossan
4.0
Written in verse, this book feels like a completely new take on an affair. Ana and Connor have had a secret relationship for 3 years, but suddenly Connor dies and Ana cannot publicly grieve. ✨
Flitting back and forth in time, there are snippets of their time together contrasted with ‘now’, when Ana and Connor's wife are dealing (or not dealing) with the loss.
The format and the transitions were at times disjointed, which made the story feel very stop-start. However, I haven't read many books in verse, but I did love the lyricism, pace, and tone that it helped to create on the whole.
