I‘m decidedly 😭😭😭 over HONEY GIRL, in that way where I want to talk about how EVERY LITTLE PART OF IT hit me but also in that way where I never want to talk about it because WHERE DO I EVEN START.

It‘s about figuring stuff out. Family, when your parents give you what they need instead of what you need. Work, when systemic racism dogs your every step. Friendship, when your friends are just, like, EVERYTHING. Love, on all levels.

5 stars 😭😭😭

I finished Honey Girl about a week ago, and it has become my favorite book. This book was recommended to me as a romance but it is so much more than that. Reading a coming of age book in which the main character has to figure out what to do once the plan is over, and having to separate what she truly wants from what she‘s supposed to want, was something I didn‘t know I needed.

Such a good solid book about a woman trying to find herself after drunkenly marrying a woman she didn't know while celebrating her college graduation. Not too heavy on the romance - an easy, lovely read.

I liked the protagonist, Grace Porter, and her story of discovery, healing, and romance.

But I loved the cast of almost unbearably charming characters that made up her chosen family.

I love Grace and her weird, lonely, ugly, glimmering, love you so much it hurts, found family. Grace and her expectations, familiar and choking. Grace and her wife, hunting monsters. Grace and forgiveness. Grace, favored by the sun and in love with the stars. Grace learning that The Best and happiness are not antonyms. Grace and her loneliness, never alone though. Lonely monsters, finding each other, holding on tight.

I‘m constantly reminded when I venture outside my comfort zone that romance just isn‘t the genre for me. This was a super cute story but I just wasn‘t invested as it‘s kinda slow in parts. For anyone that loves romance especially LGBTQ+, this is definitely a book I‘d recommend. There‘s a lot of great representation here. I just don‘t get why I can‘t get into romance? I try so hard lol

✅ A romance novel by a BIPOC author
1st & last time author.
2 ⭐️⭐️
I wanted to LOVE it so much. After ch 7 it went downhill.
I enjoyed Yuki's radio show.
It's a contemporary novel. MC finding herself as an adult/mental health/living to father's expectations. Romance only 1 quarter of book.
I didn't feel their relationship at all. WHO calls their gf by their full name ALL the time? No one! You call them babe, bella, their nickname, baby?

WJCintron I never connected with Grace: whiny & immature/age 28-29. I liked Yuki better. At least she was more centered and wiser.
SO MANY references to space, universe, stars and the sun.
(edited) 2y
WJCintron Quotes I liked:

📌 When you have a plan you don‘t fuck it up, you keep going.

📌 Are you there? I‘m listening. I‘m here.
(from Yuki's show)

📌 Lonely creatures

📌 Believing in monsters is not what the show is about. — What makes me any different from this terrible thing? What makes me the same? — Lonely creatures, what makes us so different from the stories we tell in the dark?

I really enjoyed this book, especially because I felt Grace's struggles. I don't face barriers from racism between me and my chosen career, but I am very familiar with reorienting my life after accademia and with feeling lost after school ended. It was also fun seeing how Grace handled accidentally marrying a woman she didn't know in Vegas. Content warnings for racism and panic attacks. #LGBTQ #WarmBooks #College

I was enchanted by Honey Girl when I first started reading it. I love an interracial relationship in books and in movies (it seems abuse is more tolerated sometimes than simply a couple that doesn‘t match 🙄). I loved the LGBTQA+ representation because I feel like there aren‘t many mainstream representations of such relationships either. However, by the end of the novel, the dramatic writing style wore on me a bit. A like not a love.

Grace has just achieved her PhD in astronomy but is flailing, which manifests in her drunkenly marrying a stranger in Vegas. This book is billed as a romance, and while there‘s that element, it‘s really about those moments in life when we are lost and just don‘t know what to do next. I found this extremely relatable. I just loved it!

I honestly don‘t know if I read this book or if this book read me. If someone asked me for an example of how writers can write novels poetically, I would point to this. Every sentence literally *sings*. If the gorgeous writing wasn‘t enough, the romance was sweet, the characters dynamic. & then there‘s the way the author lovingly handled themes of millennial burnout & depression. I cried. A stellar book, through & through. ★★★★★.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas unless you wake up from a dream that you met a girl, partied all night, got married & realize it wasn‘t a dream. Will this one night of drunken fun change everything for Grace Porter or will her life fall back into her old routines? I see why my coworkers love this book & while I didn‘t like it quite as much as they do, it was still an entertaining read & a soft pick for me.

#HoneyGirl It was long but a great story. I loved how it touched on so many aspects of Grace, the main character‘s life. The stress of being the best, platonic and romantic relationships ( and family) and the importance of mental health. 🏳️‍🌈

"Dedication: Dedicated to the girls with claws. Let them fear you."
Loved this dedication. I have been savoring this book in between other books, because I love it. This relatable story about the stories we tell ourselves to keep going. Its also an oops I got married story, a found family story, and a trying to merge the circles of friends, and family, and plans, together into a livable life story.

I liked Grace‘s story - earning her PhD shortly before her 29th birthday and in desperate need for a gap year to discover who she is independent of her status as a student and a daughter who as black, gay, female suffered micro aggressions and questions her well-planned decisions. ...The repetitive use of Grace‘s full name and her father‘s moniker drove seemed unnecessary. Actually, everything about her dad drove me nuts- but great friends!

Excellent in it's own right just not what I had expected. The blurb mentions drunk nuptials in Las Vegas post doctoral graduation but that is such a small part of the larger storyline. It's an adult coming-of-age, inner peace, finding a place and embracing expectations that are both Grace's own and what others place on her- all told in prose.

Part my fault I know I am not keen on romance, but also this doesn't feel like a romance, it is more of a 1/4 life crisis and how a woman finds herself.
What I ❤️ it is a multiracial queer centric life story.
What was fine - the writing.
What 😔 plot holes and lack of research. I know it is weird but I fixated on her getting a PhD in ⭐ in PDX. There are no programs for that here, here where it is cloudy 300 days a year. Also the ☕in Boston? Why?

Librariana I just noticed a poor editing choice on a children's Non-fiction book and it bummed me out! On a timeline, of all things! I think, as readers, we do notice these things and when it takes us out of our reverie, it's unfortunate. 3y

Grace thinks she has her life completely together and figured out- until she meets her wife. After one night in Las Vegas Grace wakes up to find herself married to a woman who lives on the opposite side of the country.

Grace sets out on an adventure to meet her wife again, and figure out what she wants from life. Heartbreaking, lovely and hopeful, this was a good story.

This book follows Grace Porter after she drunkenly gets married to a woman on a girls‘ trip to Vegas after getting her PhD in astronomy. In addition to navigating this new life development, Grace is trying to figure out what to do next now that she is done with school.
Books don‘t often make me actually cry but as I was listening to the audio on my walks at the park, I felt myself tearing up more than once.

A soft pick. This is more an examination of a young woman examining her life and what she wants it to consist of than the romantic comedy I expected. I thought the chemistry between Grace and Yuki was lacking somewhat but I did like what it had to say about mental health and subverting expectations. #BorrowNotBuy #BOTM
