Honey Girl (Paperback)

Staff Reviews

Anxiety-ridden perfectionist, Grace Porter, has awoken after a drunk night in Vegas to discover that she has married a cute, but mysterious woman who has left nothing but her radio show business card behind. Follow Grace as she pieces together the puzzle of her rigid career plan as she deals with being a queer Black woman in academia & suddenly having a wife she knows nothing about. I think everyone can find something to relate to within the story whether it's a complex family dynamic, living up to a parent's expectations, the fear & excitement of a new relationship, feeling alone, or being unsure of what you want to do with your life. This novel was truly a breath of fresh air! — Laura Knapp

A STUNNING debut novel! Firstly: this book is NOT a romance, but instead a poetically-written, contemporary coming-of-age fiction made for millennials to read and think: same. While the main love story is beautiful and #goals, its main character Grace Porter’s journey to self-care that makes this an enduring and necessary read for 2021. Fresh writing, diverse and fleshed out cast of characters, and perfect for the newer generations to understand love, life, and themselves. Made my heart swell. — Kirstin Swartz

Honey Girl is a raw and emotional novel that I felt extremely connected to. Almost like it was written for me and every person who has ever felt lost; For anyone who struggled with finding their path in life. If there is one thing this book has taught me, it’s that it is okay to not have everything figured out... I didn’t know how much I needed to hear that until I read Honey Girl. It is a touching novel that I think everyone should read.
