Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult & Jennifer Finney Boylan

Mad Honey is a co-authored novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan, published by Random House in trade paperback. A Good Morning America Book Club Pick and People Magazine's Book of the Week, this riveting story weaves together alternating narratives set in Adams, New Hampshire.

Olivia McAfee has returned to her sleepy hometown after escaping a dangerous marriage, taking over her late father's beekeeping business and raising her teenage son, Asher. Lily Campanello and her mother have also arrived in Adams seeking a fresh start. When Asher and Lily fall for each other, their lives become intertwined — until the morning Lily is found dead and Asher becomes the prime suspect. The novel blends a heart-pounding murder mystery with a courtroom drama and an unforgettable love story, exploring themes of identity, authenticity, domestic violence, and the secrets families keep.

Praised by The Washington Post as "heart-pounding and heartbreaking," Mad Honey is in development as a film or series adaptation. It includes an authors' note, discussion questions, playlist, recipes, and resources for LGBTQ+ young people, parents, and allies in the Book Club Kit.
