favourites from 2022

I won't give anything away, but will say this is one massive plot
twist I did not see coming. It's wonderful on identity, change,
secrets, shame and starting over. I'm still thinking about it long
after the final page. Fabulous.
*Daily Mail*
What begins as a family crime novel with themes of trust, betrayal,

someone, and the ways we choose to live authentically... Commentary
about identity and motherhood is cleverly woven throughout, making
for an honest tale about gender and violence... The book is

*i paper*
An emotional, enlightening and contemporary read that won't fail to
surprise, right up to its final pages
*Woman's Weekly*
Magnificent . . . Undoubtedly deserves its place among the most
impressive novels of 2022... [Lily and Asher's] relationship is a
beautiful thing, described with a weight of understanding that
never threatens to trivialise teenage feelings but is alive to all
the fumbles of early romance. Asher and Lily are people first,
adolescents second... Olivia's chapters [are] beautifully and
meticulously written. She, again, is a person first and a mother
second, with a complex inner life that extends beyond her child...
Wonderfully drawn and heart-breaking... Empathetic and nuanced
during a time of viscous division in our culture... It's impossible
to look away. The writing is beautiful and seamless, with hardly
any evidence that it was written by two separate authors... Lily,
Asher, Olivia and their supporting cast shine with all the
complications and nuances of real people whom we have the privilege
to know. Mad Honey is a fascinating and gripping page turner that
asks important questions about who we are and how we treat
others.
*Irish Sunday Business Post*
A challenging, intriguing story

As is expected in a Picoult novel, the characterisation is complex
and detailed: no one is intrinsically good or bad, which makes the
storytelling even more captivating
*Belfast Telegraph*
What begins as a family crime novel with themes of trust, betrayal,
abuse and feat, quickly becomes a poignant note on what it is to
love someone, and the beautiful ways individuals choose to live
authentically . . . Commentary about identity and motherhood is
cleverly woven throughout, making for an honest and interesting
talk about gender and violence. Flawlessly written,
incredibly engaging and a source of
vital dialogue in a world where trans
voices aren't always championed. If
you read only one more book this year,
make it this one.
