A review by jemmacrosland
Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult, Jennifer Finney Boylan
Did not finish book.
DNF @ 18% (August 2022), DNF @ 28% (January 2023)
I rarely do not finish a book, and I looked back on my Goodreads to confirm this and there is only 1 book I've marked as DNF. At least it has a friend now on its shelf?
I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy and I was so excited to read it, I started it straight away and then just as quickly, I put it down never to pick it up again. It was too complicated on my first read and I wasn't in the right head space to give it the time and effort it deserved.
Fast forward 6 months and I was bothered with this book still being on my Currently Reading shelf and awaiting review on NetGalley. So I went back to the beginning and started over. This ended up being a complete waste of time, as I had such a similar experience to the first read. Even though I gave the book the attention it needs, it just didn't interest me. That's the main problem I have with this book, that I just didn't care. I didn't care about the characters, about the outcome, about the mystery. It's such a shame as I really wanted to enjoy this book, and I really actually loved the sections about bees and information and facts about them.
1/5 ⭐️
