5 feral rats out of 5 feral rats for Honeybee
✨ðŸ¶ÄðŸ€ðŸ€ðŸ€ðŸ€âœ�
Aiiight, I’m always skeptical on anything that is Australian-based, it hits too close to home for me and loses some of the appeal of escapism that I generally want from reading.
But HOT DIGGITY DAMN, this book sent my soul into a trash compactor and I was ugly crying in my car driving down the highway.
(I listened on audio, and it FUCKING WRECKED ME and I was Kim K ugly crying in my car and ruined my make up on the way to an event)
Queer, Australian, Heart-wrenching, DEVASTATINGLY HUMAN and BEAUTIFUL. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I will be sending Craig Silvey my therapy bill 💖
Also, Australian accents lowkey send me mental (even though I have one, hypocritical I am aware 🤣) but the audio (according to my audible by Harvey Zielinski) KNOCKED THE STORY OUT OF THE PARK. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed an Australian accent so much before and I don’t feel any other narrator could have done what Harvey brought to the table with this one. 💖

It’s a really nice book with some quite fucked themes and things that happen, but I loved it so much 🥹 and I’m crazy when there’s good queer Australian rep, and not just making Australians seem like a joke 🤣💖 hope you love it and get emotionally wrecked (in a good way) if you ever read it heheheh 💖

Don’t know if you’re an audio girl, but the audio was so good too because it’s done by a young Australian dude and I think he made the story even better! 💖 happy reading to you babe! 🥰
I’m equally tempted and afraid to pick it up after reading your review 😳

I think it was devastating because I loved the characters so much by the end! And I love to read books that make me cry! 💖💖 heheheheh
I’m due a new audio book. Maybe I’m in the market for complete emotional devastation 🤔

And I can't stand Aussie accents, but the guy who narrates this, I think his Australian accent like enhanced the story?? because it's read by a young aussie guy and the story is about a 15 year old boy (I think he's 15, or about there) so it just fits! I hope you love it, and have a tear or two with me! I don't know anyone who's read thisssssssssss 💖💖💖
