BOOKS
MAD HONEY
By Jodi Picoult
October 4
A soul-stirring novel about what we choose
to keep from our past, and what we choose
to leave behind, from the New York Times
bestselling author of “Wish You Were Here”
and the bestselling author of “She’s Not
There.” 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 doovers,
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
themselves on opposing sides of an epic
battle when they’re swept away into an
enchanted school where aspiring heroes and
villains are trained to protect the balance
between Good and Evil.
