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'

captivated every second' ' My favourite book of the year so far hands down'
