Mad Honey is a fiction novel by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan. Olivia McAfee is a beekeeper in a small New Hampshire town, living with her son, Asher. The new girl, Lily Campanello was found dead and her boyfriend, Asher is put on trial. Throughout the book, the perspective switches between Lily and Olivia. Many things are questioned in the book and trust is on the line.
One character I connected with was Lily since I relate to her problem of not fitting in. I have felt this way in school when it was hard to make friends. Jodi Picoult’s writing style includes many social issues and incites different perspectives of a problem. Read to see what happens.
