For Waverly Bryson, life is anything but boring! And never is that fact more evident than in Maria Murnane’s delightful third novel about the irrepressible heroine. This time around, Waverly faces a game-changing opportunity: an offer to turn her popular advice column into a regular guest spot on the new TV show Love, Wendy. It could be the break of a lifetime—but for a few not-so-minor details. For starters, Waverly’s acceptance of the job means moving clear across the country, giving up her rent-controlled apartment, and leaving behind her best friends McKenna and Andie. Oh, and there’s the fact that TV host extraordinaire Wendy Davenport is none-too-pleased by the prospect of Waverly usurping her broadcast throne. Then there’s Jake, Waverly’s boyfriend. He’s as crazy about her as ever. His mother, on the other hand? Not so much. But Waverly wouldn’t be Waverly if she didn’t tackle these challenges head on, with all the zeal, good humor, and, yes, occasional catastrophe that we’ve come to expect from “the American Bridget Jones.” Witty, light-hearted, and fun, Honey on Your Mind is Waverly Bryson at her best.
I have enjoyed the Waverly stories. Maria's writing style is one that draws you quickly into the story. This series is fun and flirty. They are clean romances, though you know the characters have sex.
I'm not sure if the following is a spoiler the way I'm telling it or not, so if you are concerned, stop reading. There is a situation in the book that involves adultery, and as it resolves, it is clear that the author and characters feel that it is actually justified and okay, but as far as I'm concerned, adultery is never okay, so that bothered me. Well, and the reason for it did, too, but that's all I'll say here.
