Honey Summary

Honey: Pre-order the most anticipated debut novel of Summer 2024 by Isabel Banta

I didn't like to perform. I liked to be loved.

'Like Daisy Jones soaked in Britney Spears' Curious' HOLLY BOURNE

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 a girl group 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.

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.

Honey Reviews

Honey is a sexy swagger of a debut. The ambition and grit of its heroine are matched by the dextrous smarts of its writer, and it is deeply satisfying to see the mistreated pop princess of the millennium get the respect that they--as complicated humans--deserved all along -- Emma Straub, New York Times Bestselling Author
Honey was everything I was hoping it would be and more. Beautifully defiant, persistently empathetic, and the writing itself is absolutely crystalline -- Courtney Summers, New York Times Bestselling Author
Like Daisy Jones soaked in Britney Spears' Curious -- Holly Bourne, Bestselling Author
Isabel Banta has delivered an all-access pass to the early-aughts pop world of my dreams in the form of this gorgeous, powerful, and unapologetic romp of a novel. Dripping with sweat, sex, and yes, honey, the character of Amber Young will forever redefine how we think of the perils of stardom, paparazzi, and becoming who you're meant to be despite it all. Effervescent and full of energy, the lessons in Honey are as needed today as they were in the age of Britney and Christina. A rare, shining star of a debut -- Chelsea Bieker
Honey parts the shimmered curtains of Y2K pop stardom and ushers us to a place beyond the schoolgirl/jezebel binary: the rich inner world of a young woman discovering her own depth and life force, authentic sexuality and artistic intelligence. Show up for Honey with your sticky notes ready, because there's much to bookmark here: not only the deftly written heat, but a hundred keen and quotable observations about creating a life of truth and wholeness -- June Gervais
An utterly addictive, juicy read that perfectly captures 90s and 2000s pop culture and the entertainment industries of that era. Full of drama, heartbreak, ambition and desire - Honey is ultimately a story about a woman finding herself. The kind of book that leaves the reader feeling utterly satisfied at the end, and maybe with an urge to put on some 90s pop songs -- Katherine Webber Tsang, Bestselling Author
