Mad Honey is written jointly by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan. The story of how they wrote it together, and how the idea for the project came to Boylan in a dream, is described at the end of the book. There are two voices, Olivia, a single-mom beekeeper, victim of domestic violence, and mother of teenaged son Asher, and Lily, Asher’s girlfriend. The plot is that Lily dies and Asher is accused of murder. The story starts slowly and I almost gave up on it, but 200 pages in there’s an important and topical twist that is really the point of the novel. I won’t reveal what it is because the jacket cover doesn’t, and neither does Kirkus Reviews:
