Mad Honey
Picoult, Jodi & Boylan, JFBoth Olivia McAfee and Ava Campanello end up in Adams, New Hampshire to escape family violence, but when their respective children, Asher and Lily, meet at school and fall in love, the trauma is not over: Lily is found dead, Asher is charged with her murder and in the trial that follows, everyone's secrets will be exposed.

People enjoyed the pacey story, but some found it too formulaic. People appreciated the detail on LGBQT and the detail in the court case.

A very well-received book by all in our group. An in-depth discussion ensued re domestic abuse and gender issues. All agreed it was another great book by Jodi Picoult, albeit a clever collaboration.
