Honey Girl

Less of a romance novel than I thought it'd be, though there is plenty of romance herein. More about the character Grace falling apart and finding her way again after going so hard after a goal for so long, and realizing she's didn't end up where she thought she'd be/she wanted to be, because of stupid things like, oh, systemic racism.

I liked the found families of both Yuki and Grace (moreso Yuki's than Grace's, though I liked Raj a lot), I liked them as a couple. I'm not sure why Grace assumed that if she and Yuki were going to make it work, why it needed to be her alone that made all the changes in location, career, etc., when they never had a conversation about it. I don't think I've been Full-Named in a year as many times as Grace Porter was in this <300 page book, by multiple characters, nor been called [Insert Word Here] Girl either. Everyone had a different identifier for Grace when they weren't full-naming her! Yay for talk therapy!

Overall though, basically I agree with everything Stephanie said. This was fine, but I didn't love it as much as I wanted to.

CW: self-harm.
