Mad Honey: A GMA Book Club Pick A Novel

This GMA Book Club Pick and New York Times Bestseller from beloved authors Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan weaves together two unforgettable stories of starting over—and the dangerous secrets that can unravel everything.

Olivia McAfee has returned to her New Hampshire hometown to escape a dark marriage, taking over her father’s beekeeping business and hoping to give her son, Asher, a fresh start. Lily Campanello and her mother are also seeking new beginnings when they arrive in Adams for Lily’s senior year. When Asher and Lily fall deeply in love, it seems like fate has smiled on them both.

Then comes the phone call that shatters everything: Lily is dead, and Asher is the prime suspect.

Olivia is certain her son is innocent—but she can’t ignore the flashes of his father’s temper she’s glimpsed in Ash, or the secrets he’s been keeping. As the case unfolds, she’s forced to confront how well she truly knows her own child.

Mad Honey is a masterfully crafted page-turner that explores the fierce power of maternal love, the courage it takes to become your authentic self, and the devastating consequences of hidden truths. This collaboration seamlessly blends suspense with profound emotional depth, creating a story that will keep you reading late into the night—and thinking about it long after you’ve turned the final page.

Perfect for fans of literary thrillers that ask difficult questions and readers who appreciate stories about identity, acceptance, and the transformative nature of love.
