Fans of Judy Blume, The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street, and The Penderwicks will love this funny, charismatic story of a Jewish girl striving to forge her own identity in the shadow of her fearless best friend.

**A 2023 Sydney Taylor Award Honor Book!**

**A Kirkus Best Book of 2022**

* "Authentic, joyful, achingly real." ― Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* “An effortless story that is both widely relatable and culturally specific…highly recommended.” ― School Library Journal, starred review

“Refreshing.” ― School Library Connection, recommended

Milla and Honey have been best friends since forever.

Milla envies Honey’s confidence, her charisma, and her big, chaotic family―especially when they provide a welcome escape from Milla’s own small family and quiet house. In their close-knit Jewish community, the two girls do everything together, from delivering meals to an ill-tempered elderly neighbor, to shopping at a local thrift store, celebrating the holidays, and going to their first bat mitzvahs while studying for their own.

So when Honey joins Milla’s school for sixth grade, why is it not as great as Milla expected? Can their friendship survive all the ups and downs the year has in store for them? And will Milla ever find the courage to step out of Honey’s shadow and into her own spotlight?

Charming, authentic, and wise, Honey and Me is a classic coming-of-age story filled with relatable middle school struggles, keen insight, and sparkling humor.

    Every chapter of this wonderful book is a lovely, relatable vignette about two Jewish girls during their bat mitzvah year. Their friendship feels rocky, with Milla's insecurities and envy of Honey's confidence and popularity when she joins Milla's school. Much needed positive Orthodox Jewish representation and values flow throughout the story. A must read for all tweens!

    Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2022
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    So, who is Honey and Me for? I would say that this book deftly manages to be both universal and particular. The specific setting of the book is that of Orthodox Jews in America (or perhaps Canada?), but the themes addressed are those relevant to all pre-teens struggling with establishing their own identities and way in life.
    The main characters are richly developed, and we are given deep insight into secondary characters as well. There is humor, there is poignancy, and there is a satisfying conclusion. I hope this will not be the last of what we read of these delightful people!

    Honey & Me was engaging and well written, relatable for both adults and young adults. The author took care to explain the Jewish concepts and I think many of the lessons and themes are universal. As a mom, I find it helpful to read stories written from the child’s perspective. And the young adults whom I shared the book with felt the story captured some of their daily emotions and pressures perfectly. This book spoke to us and was a pleasure to read.

    I really enjoyed reading this book. Was great to see life from the perspective of two 11 year old religious Jewish girls. I enjoyed reading about the challenges that they faced and how they overcame them and also the importance of their friendship. Would definitely recommend it to all ages to read.

    The universal themes of friendship, community, child/parent relationships, family, and loss are all present in this beautifully written coming of age story. Readers of all ages will relate to Milla as she navigates the challenges of middle school, her relationship with her best friend, Honey, and tries to define her role within her family. It was a delight to watch Milla’s character develop throughout the novel, and most refreshing to see strong Modern-Orthodox Jewish protagonists!
