Now, impossibly, her baby is six feet tall and in his last year of high school, a kind, good-looking, popular ice hockey star with a tiny sprite of a new girlfriend. Lily also knows what it feels like to start over - when she and her mother relocated to New Hampshire it was all about a fresh start. She and Asher couldn't help falling for each other, and Lily feels happy for the first time. But can she trust him completely? Then Olivia gets a phone call - Lily is dead, and Asher is arrested on a charge of murder. As the case against him unfolds, she realises he has hidden more than he's shared with her. And Olivia knows firsthand that the secrets we keep reflect the past we want to leave behind ­­- and that we rarely know the people we love well as we think we do.

To my surprise I finished the book, and got educated along the way. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Novels *by A***R on 19 August 2026* Always loved Jodi piccoult ! Loved this one too ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be Yourself *by J***N on 12 August 2025* Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult & Jennifer Finney Boylan is a powerful contemporary novel that consumed me from the start. I have always loved Jodi Picoult’s novels and Mad Honey is no exception. The plotline surrounds a young man, Asher, who is accused of murdering his girlfriend, Lily. The reader follows the trial through the eyes of Asher’s mother after the event; and we hear Lily’s voice leading up to the event. Two women who love Asher. The reader wants to believe that Asher is innocent – but even his mum has doubts. A major theme is that of being true to yourself. “You’re the only one who gets to decide who you’re going to be. You don’t have to be just like your father.” We must not let anyone mould us into being someone we are not. It is heartbreaking to see a character suffering at the hands of the bullies. Even their own father bullies his offspring. There is a heartbreaking scene that leaves a youngster powerless. There is the theme of domestic abuse. We witness a character who is so beaten down and destroyed, believing that she deserves what comes her way and making excuses for her abuser. All the characters were well drawn and believable. The leading pair and their mums were extremely likable. As I read, the novel elicited a variety of emotional responses from me. Did I have a favourite character? Definitely Lily. My heart just broke for her at times. Mad Honey had two jaw-dropping and defining moments within the story. I definitely did not predict either event. Mad Honey was a superb novel, drawing out many feelings from me. I can highly recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mad Honey: The heart-pounding and heart-breaking number one international bestseller: an absolutely heart-pounding and heart-breaking book club novel - Wish You Were Here: The Sunday Times bestseller readers are raving about: a completely gripping, unputdownable novel from bestselling author of Mad Honey - The Book of Two Ways: The stunning bestseller about life, death and missed opportunities --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/542713542-mad-honey-the-heart-pounding-and-heart-breaking-number-one](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/542713542-mad-honey-the-heart-pounding-and-heart-breaking-number-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
