“HONEY GIRL is an emotional, heartfelt, charming debut, and I loved every moment of it.”
— Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of The Proposal
When becoming an adult means learning to love yourself first.
With her newly completed PhD in astronomy in hand, twenty-eight-year-old Grace Porter goes on a girls’ trip to Vegas to celebrate. She’s a straight A, work-through-the-summer certified high achiever. She is not the kind of person who goes to Vegas and gets drunkenly married to a woman whose name she doesn’t know…until she does exactly that.
This one moment of departure from her stern ex-military father’s plans for her life has Grace wondering why she doesn’t feel more fulfilled from completing her degree. Staggering under the weight of her parent’s expectations, a struggling job market and feelings of burnout, Grace flees her home in Portland for a summer in New York with the wife she barely knows.
In New York, she’s able to ignore all the constant questions about her future plans and falls hard for her creative and beautiful wife, Yuki Yamamoto. But when reality comes crashing in, Grace must face what she’s been running from all along—the fears that make us human, the family scars that need to heal and the longing for connection, especially when navigating the messiness of adulthood.
»Kennen wir uns?«
»Naja, wir … haben in Vegas geheiratet.«
Als einzige schwarze Frau in einer weißen Umgebung ist die 29-jährige Grace es gewohnt, überall die Beste sein zu müssen – und so hat sie auch ihr Astronomiestudium mit Bestnote bestanden. Doch nach einem Wochenende in Las Vegas gerät ihr sonst so vorbestimmtes Leben aus den Fugen: Verkatert erwacht Grace mit einer Frau namens Yuki im Bett – und einem Ehering am Finger! Und obwohl sie und Yuki noch am selben Tag getrennter Wege gehen, kann Grace Yuki nicht vergessen. Zusehends unwillig, den Karriereansprüchen ihrer Umgebung Folge zu leisten, schmeißt sie alles hin und folgt Yuki nach New York – in ein Leben, das alle Gewissheiten, Lebensziele und vor allem ihre Haltung zum Thema Liebe fundamental infrage stellt.
