Mad Honey is fantastic. The overall plot is an incredibly moving depiction of young love and tragedy. But there is so much more going on in this book, and I cannot get over the beauty of the storytelling. The authors expertly use the voices of two women sharing their past experiences to create deeper meaning in the space where their lives intersect in the present. As much as I love the storyline and characters, I am just as impressed how the book's composition wove so many perspectives and timelines together so seamlessly. A truly masterful work.
