I didn´t like to perform. I liked to be loved. ´Like Daisy Jones soaked in Britney Spears´ Curious´ HOLLY BOURNE´It´s a delightfully bubblegum novel of hot summer nostalgia´ LITHUB´A sexy swagger of a debut´ EMMA STRAUB. It is 1997, and Amber Young has received a life-changing call. It´s a chance thousands of girls would die for: the opportunity to join girl group Cloud9 in Los Angeles and escape her small town. She quickly finds herself in the orbits of fellow rising stars Gwen Morris, a driven singer-dancer, and Wes Kingston, a member of the biggest boy band in the world, ETA. As Amber embarks on her solo career and her fame intensifies, she increasingly finds herself reduced to a body, a voice, an object. Surrounded by the wrong kind of people and driven by a desire for recognition and success, for love and sex, for agency and connection, Amber comes of age at a time when the kaleidoscope of public opinion can distort everything, and one mistake can shatter a career. Inspired by the starlets of the 90s and noughties who became as infamous for their personal lives as their hypersexualised music videos and lyrics, Honey is a novel about the journey from girlhood to womanhood and how far we are willing to go in the pursuit of love . . . Readers LOVE Honey´Honey is going to be one of THE books of the summer´ ´A knockout debut novel´ ´Daisy Jones meets 90s/00s early pop!´´From start to finish the nostalgia I felt while reading this book was UNREAL!´ ´This definitely gives Britney Spears, Mandy Moore and Christina Aguilera vibes´´I was captivated every second´ ´My favourite book of the year so far, hands down´ ´I loved each and every character´
