- Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan joined our “Bookaccino Live” Book Group for a brilliant discussion about their novel, MAD HONEY. Jennifer explains that the idea for the book came to her in a dream that she had in 2017. They talk about their characters and who wrote each, as well as how they worked with one portion of the narrative going forward and another going backward. Jodi is a complete outliner, and they discuss how having this structure allowed them to develop the story with each of them writing on their own. This truly was a partnership throughout the entire process of writing, editing and promoting the book. Jodi and Jennifer also point out that they wanted to tell a story about a person who was transgender but frame it against a much bigger narrative and a mystery.

Thank you, Carol, for yet another excellent interview! I loved this book, and look forward to re-reading it with my book club in January.
I'm so glad you record these so I could watch today (Oct. 30). Loved every minute! And yes, I too will be re-reading.
I thought the book tried to cover too many subjects. My Book Club didn't particularly like it. Not Picoult's best for sure!
Please explain how it tried to cover too many subjects?
