[ A woman needs her hive ]

Renée is chasing a dream career, and feels like an imposter.

Flo is hiding a secret shame, and feels like a failure.

As their lives collide over one hot summer, and they ride the chaos of work, sex and love, an unbreakable bond is formed between them.

They might be lost, but they’re not alone – because women stick together.

Waiting for this book I’ve checked which book I have not yet read from Dawn and there was only one left Paper Aeroplanes…not knowing what Honey Bee is about
So you can imagine my pure joy when the story started

So to all who have not, read the Paper Aeroplanes first ! Both are such joyful and painful reminders of how we try to navigate through our lives as girls and women

Lovely follow up on Paper Aeroplanes

Another great book

I liked it but didn’t love it like I did her other books. Didn’t have the same funny laugh out loud moments but maybe because it was about girls in their early twenties ? Not sure

Not as good as her other books

i have never read any fiction books except Dawn O'porter's I am obsessed with this author...
I absolutely loved this book and all her others.
For me the cat lady is my favourite, that is probably because i can relate to the story so much.

5 stars always.... hurry up and write the next book.

brilliant

Escape to a laugh and love filled world for a bit!
