I always enjoy a book by Dawn O'Porter so I was thrilled to reveive digital copy of her latest book, Honeybee.  Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Collins UK for providing an ARC. 

Renee and Flo used to be best friends but have drifted apart since leaving school.  At the age of 22 the two friends are brought back together at a funeral on their home island of Guernsey.  Both women have their own struggles and demons to face. Can they rekindle their friendship and support each other while working out how  to be an adult?

I found this to be a wonderful read, full of warmth, wit and some truly cringey moments.  We hear from both Renee's and Flo's POVs who are great characters, who one moment had me laughing out loud and the next shedding a tear.   This book has all the feels.  I did love the side characters too, in particular Aunty Jo.  It was good to read about character going through menopause, a subject I really relate to.  I would love a book with Aunty Jo as the MC. 

While Renee and Flo have featured in previous books,  it's not necessary to read those first to enjoy this book as it totally works as a stand-alone. I would definitely recommend Honeybee if you're looking for a laugh out loud book with strong female characters.
