From the start this book was absolutely incredible. I loved the multiple pov as I feel like it really added to the story, and gave more depth and perspective to the events. This book offered a look into the world of privilege and what it means to be who you truly are. I really enjoyed learning more about bee keeping and honey production, as it wasn’t a topic I knew much about before! I also found the crime and court case elements to be very interesting, and it’s actually what made me pick this book up to begin with, and I’m so glad I did! 🐝🍯✨
