March Book Pick: Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult & Jennifer Finney Boylan

Olivia McAfee is starting over in her childhood home. She is reeling from her divorce, fleeing an abusive ex-husband. Her beekeeping business is turning a profit. Teenager Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they hope it will be a fresh start. Olivia’s son Asher falls for Lily, and Lily can’t help but fall for him, too. When Lily is found dead, Asher is charged in her death. Olivia is adamant that her son is innocent. But she would be lying if she didn’t acknowledge the flashes of his father’s temper in him, and as the case against him unfolds, she realizes he’s hidden more than he’s shared with her.
