Mad Honey

 Definitely a Jodi Picoult novel..her hands are all over this story.  Lots of suspense, good twists, and a story that makes you think.  I came away from this novel a more enriched and knowledgeable person about transgender.  Cannot give it higher praise than that.

This is definitely a moving, intriguing plot about teens and their relationships and the tragedy that happens.  So well written that the reader is introduced to Olivia McAfee, a bee keeper and single mother of teenage son, Asher.  Then the story is also told from the perspective of Lily Campanello, who is a young woman, finsihing her last year of high school in a new school.   She and her mother, Ava, a park ranger have moved to this small town, Adams, New Hampshire for a new start. 

This is a story of secrets and second chances.  Each character in this novel has a secret or two they do not want to share.  They are all hiding something that may change how people see them.  It is a love story, the risks and lengths people go to be the people they want people to see.  It is also the story of who we trust and who we think we know.  Do we really  know the people closest to us?
