I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Honeysuckle since I read it. A Frankenstein-esque spirit haunts the pages through Daye’s love for Rory, which is woven and tangled with her existence. Fridman-Tell writes characters whose thoughts, worries, and flaws spill off the page into people and experiences I’m sure most readers know in some way. This was a simultaneously familiar and altogether unique reading experience. I highly, highly recommend!
