June 24, 2024 - Mad Honey
Our discussion on May 20th was on Anderson Cooper's Vanderbilt. We had a mix of ratings on this one. Some liked the author's style and felt it was easy to read. Others thought there were too many individuals included and it was hard to keep track of them.
Our next meeting will be Monday, June 24th at 3pm in the LME Library's large meeting room. The book we will be discussing is Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult. Copies of the book are available at the library desk and the discussion sheets are available for pickup or online.Summary: "Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life-living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising a beautiful son, Asher-was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in, and taking over her father's beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start. And for just a short while, these new beginnings are exactly what Olivia and Lily need. Their paths cross when Asher falls for the new girl in school, and Lily can't help but fall for him, too. With Ash, she feels happy for the first time. Yet at times, she wonders if she can she trust him completely . . . Then one day, Olivia receives a phone call: Lily is dead, and Asher is being questioned by the police. 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"--
