About this listen

Finalist for the 2023 AUDIE AWARDS® for Fiction

Jodi Picoult is the author of 17 number 1 UK bestsellers. Now with Mad Honey she has joined up with co-author Jennifer Finney Boylan to give us the most compelling, challenging and contemporary novel you will read this year - and which will start conversations we need to have.

Olivia fled her abusive marriage to return to her hometown and take over the family beekeeping business when her son was six. Now Asher is over 6 feet tall and in his last year of high school, a kind, good-looking, popular ice hockey star with a tiny sprite of a new girlfriend who Olivia loves. Then Lily is found with a catastrophic head injury at the bottom of the stairs - and Asher is arrested on a charge of murder. . . What was the truth of their relationship?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Mad Honey

Really loved this book. From how it was narrated to the lessons in bees. I thought the murderer was someone else not who we find out he/she is.

Well needed

This is a story that needs to be told. It provides education and helps the reader understand a minute experience of what it is like to be trans.

Just beautiful

Beautifully written and thought provoking. I loved every page. I’m usually a slow reader. I read this in record time. Thank you!

So interesting!

Up there as one of the best from Jodi Picoult. Shocker of a twist in the middle of the book. The whole book was entertaining, thought provoking and educational, in my opinion

A novel that opened my mind

Like so many people, I had little to no understanding of transgendered men and women before reading this riveting, heart-rendering book. Written so beautifully with such sensitivity, narrated gently and convincingly, I challenge anyone to put it down without having a change in mindset and heart, as it should be. 10/10!

So caring, thought provoking

I wish I could give this book 10 stars for its most sensitive handling of a difficult topic. The characters have real depth to them, no one is all good or all bad. The most thought provoking narrative I have read and it will probably stay with me for quite awhile.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed the story, it was well researched and thought provoking. The narration of Olivia’s character was very fast so I had to turn the speed down and at times the story had quite a bit of repetition. I still really enjoyed it though, definitely worth a listen.

Exceptional

I knew very little about transgender people before I read this book. I have been educated- the tip of the iceberg to understanding the tragedy of isolation, fear and loneliness of being LGBT. This story was written with such sensitivity and respect that it’s made me somewhat ashamed of my ignorance and naivety about being transgender.
The story is fiercely gentle, strongly soft and if by touching the heart of a random grandmother of 4 young children in a small town on the edge of Africa then all has been achieved in raising awareness and understanding.
I thought I was open minded and understood the T in LGBT, after all I did watch Pricilla Queen of the Desert! I will continue to up-skill and expand my knowledge and hopefully be able to reach out and help a Lily one day. Thank you Lorna
