What is honey, anyway?
novel ya Honey It is about a gay teenager named Mars, who feels like he’s living in the shadow of their twin sister, Caroline. However, when Caroline dies horribly and unexpectedly, March sets out to investigate the relationship between their twin sister and Honey, a group of pretty and not-so-pretty girls who got their nickname for the hives behind their cabin because Caroline boarded with the group during her time at a prestigious summer camp, Aspen Conservancy. Although the Martians used to attend the Aspen Conservancy with their sister years ago, the fluidity of their gender kept them from the strict traditions required to fit in with their peers, and they stopped attending. But now that Caroline is dead, they’re willing to do anything to find a connection between their twin sister and Honey.
As the Martians explore who or what the Honeys really are, they are surprised to learn that the group of girls invite them into their world. But is something messing with their minds? Why is their memory starting to fade? Is all that hunts Martians the same force that chased Caroline? When they discover a dark and disgusting secret behind the Honeys’ cabin in their search for these answers, it could cost the Martians everything.
