Mad Honey by Jennifer Finney Boylan, Jodi Picoult
4.5

4.5 stars

Wonderfully written book. The whole story was captivating and my heart hurt for so many characters here. 

However, the very very end fell a little flat. It felt almost like it didn't even fit. See below if you want the more detailed explanation.

Maya killing Lily almost felt like a cop out. The fact that even after she confessed NOTHING happened to her is absolute bullshit. Even if Asher would have been the killer, how come it is unfathomable that it was an accident. But since a teenage girl did it over a boy, she gets away with it. Sorry, but Maya should have been charged with manslaugher.
