Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An emotional, heartfelt story of young love, tragedy and terrible parenting, Heathen & Honeysuckle is a good read. It is slightly repetitive in parts, and overtly cheesy in others (how many times do we have to hear how much Darby glows, even in the dark?), and I think it could have been shorter but it’s enjoyable. There is a lot of world building and setting the stage for later books which I think explains the length but, at times, it felt like far too much. I’m intrigued enough to read the next book as I want to know more about Dahlia, though I wish it was Elena and August’s story. I’m sure their time will come!
