GTG Book Club met at Sylvia’s on February 16. Crab quiche, salad and croissants were served for lunch, with pound cake and fruit with whipped cream for dessert. Even with only six members attending, a lively discussion followed re this month’s book “Mad Honey” by Jodie Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylon.
The story is about Olivia and her son Asher who had relocated to her hometown in New Hampshire where she assumed her father’s bee-keeping business and where Asher is a high school hockey star; and also about Ava and her teen daughter Lily who also relocate to this small town to begin a new life. Asher and Lily meet and begin a teenage romance. Tragically Lily dies and Asher is arrested for her murder.
It is a heartbreaking story about life’s injustices, first love, parental love…and bees. The story involves an intense court case, a shocker in the middle, and a twist at the end. Olivia’s story is written by Author Jodie Picoult, and Lily’s story is written by co-author Jennifer Finney Boylan.
In other business, Rennie Tressler was approved as a new member.
We missed Louisa, Grace, Edna, Rosemary and Alice.

Welcome Rennie
I just finished this book in December 2023. I found it very captivating. It showed me how uninformed and narrow-minded I've sometimes been.
