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.

The Honeys is dark and full of twists and turns as well as surprises. But manages to conclude itself in a satisfying way that felt good. You as the reader feel rewarded by the end.
On top of the thrilling element and mystery, we also get great metaphors and discussions around queerness and gender fluidity. Which I found eye opening as well as well written.
