Honey Girl By Morgan Rogers Review Book

Honey Girl

With her newly completed PhD in astronomy in hand, twenty-eight-year-old Grace Porter goes on a girls’ trip to Vegas to celebrate. She’s a straight A, work-through-the-summer certified high achiever. She is not the kind of person who goes to Vegas and gets drunkenly married to a woman whose name she doesn’t know…until she does exactly that.

This one moment of departure from her stern ex-military father’s plans for her life has Grace wondering why she doesn’t feel more fulfilled from completing her degree. Staggering under the weight of her parent’s expectations, a struggling job market and feelings of burnout, Grace flees her home in Portland for a summer in New York with the wife she barely knows.

In New York, she’s able to ignore all the constant questions about her future plans and falls hard for her creative and beautiful wife, Yuki Yamamoto. But when reality comes crashing in, Grace must face what she’s been running from all along—the fears that make us human, the family scars that need to heal and the longing for connection, especially when navigating the messiness of adulthood.

Top Review (Amazon)

I had seen this book trendy for a minute and knew I had to read it. Grace Porter is to me filled with the disease of perfection. She has made a plan and is prepared no matter to stick with it. She is finding herself, fighting her inner thoughts and finding a balance with her new wife that she never expected if you are looking for a read you won’t put down this Is it.-Vonya Rahming

A person very difficult for Grace Porter to find. The expectations Grace perceives are being thrust upon her by the Colonel. By her own perfectionism are breaking her. She has people who love her. A found family of beloved friends. A voice in the night. Grace must find a way to be who she really is.
This is a coming of age read. Deep and thoughtful.-Tillienedeau

I don’t think that I have ever read a book that has made me feel so seen. This book encompasses all of the things that plague queer black women. The systematic issues in the corporate America, pushing yourself to the point of breaking, & a sense of confusion after completing higher education are so real and major selling point in this book. I genuinely can not properly express how much I loved this book!-Jasmine Cuffy
