I received a free copy of Mad Honey from NetGalley in exchange for this review. Mad Honey alternates between two narrators- Olivia, who’s 18 year old son has been arrested for the murder of his girlfriend, Lily. The other is Lily, who flashes back to the days leading up to her death. It is an interesting mix of courtroom drama and heavy social commentary. I think if you know that going in and prepare yourself for the politics and deep teen angst, it would be a much better read. It was just a bit jarring to find yourself thrust into it when you think you are reading about a beekeeper. Mad Honey comes out October 4, 2022.
