I'm not generally one who reaches for YA often, and I'm often disappointed when I do... But The Honeys is just as strange and captivating as its cover. A slow burn that keeps you turning pages - deliciously weird, queer fun. I'll keep it short and sweet and say pick this one up for The Last Time I Lied x Bunny x Mexican Gothic vibes.

Beautifully written and unbelievably visceral. I just wish it had been a little shorter

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.

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.
