THE HONEYS IS INCREDIBLE! It has so much to say about gender roles and tradition, about grief and emotional distance, about nature and its connectivity. It is also surreal and terrifying and fascinating. Love a book at leaves you with more questions than answers. I've never read anything quite like it before. CANNOT recommend highly enough.

BEES. Explicit descriptions of them around people, the sounds of their buzzing, them crawling on skin/into ears, and lots of bee stings.

Everyone’s always talking about creepy sentient fungi but now I only want creepy sentient bees and aspen trees. 

This book is real good. I could not put it down and was audibly gasping towards the end. Fantastic characters, ✨immaculate✨vibes (it’s giving Midsommar), and honestly a lot scarier than most of the adult horror I read. This story will stick with me for a long time.

A perfectly serviceable surreal mystery with a solid concept, but the pacing of the novel and its climactic reveals were not done any favours by the bland and predictable characters making up the cast.
