pithypants reviewed Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult
Well done collaboration
4 stars
This book was a collaboration between Jodi Picoult and Jenny Finney but you wouldn't know it based on the Goodreads entry... makes it sound like it's all Picoult. It's a shame, because it's one of the more effective collaborations I've read, and I appreciated the authors' notes at the end that explained their process.
I'm deliberately not sharing details about the plot or any of its twists (which anyone who has read a Picoult book knows to expect) because I don't want to spoil the surprises, but I appreciated this book and the issues it took on. I hope it lands in many small town libraries and cultivates a bit of empathy and compassion among those who read it.
