Your review is spot on. I loved the writing style and could completely see and hear Honey off the page and in my mind’s eye thanks to his writing.

That said, your comment about the tempo of her emotions is spot on. Her relationships with the painter and Jocelyn didn’t feel realistic because of this.

In reply to Debbie. I completely agree- I loved so much about Honey, but didn't quite feel as if Lodato understood older women at times. If that makes sense.

I loved “Honey.” I was excited to read it after having read and loved “Edgar & Lucy,” and “Honey did not disappoint. As you note the writing is beautiful. I loved the characters, especially Honey, to whom I could relate, not because of her life experiences, but because of my age. Through her experiences, once she returns home, Honey learns to expand her horizons, to continue to learn, and to adapt to a world that is very different from the one that she grew up in and which she does not fully understand.
