While Grace is in New York she can easily ignore her uncertain future and the all-consuming fears that usually keep her up at night. Grace leaves her home in Portland for a well-deserved break in New York so that she could get to know her wife. She has just completed her hard earned degree so she should be bursting with happiness and eternal contentment, right? Unfortunately, that’s not the case because she is trying her best to live up to her parents’ high expectations and deal with a competitive job market while she is trying to cope with feelings of burnout. That precious moment in time when she deviated from the methodical plans her father had for her life has left Grace wondering why she has these underlying feelings of discontent. Grace is a die-hard planner-she maps out every decision she makes in her life and she is not the kind of woman who gets drunkenly married to a stranger but that’s exactly what she does in Las Vegas. She has always been a diligent, straight A student.

Grace Porter is twenty-eight years old and she has a brand new PhD in astronomy so she goes on a girls’ getaway trip to Las Vegas to celebrate her huge success.

Who would have thought that becoming an adult meant that you had to learn all about self-love? Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers is a poignant coming of age novel that highlights the importance of finding inner peace, making the best decisions for yourself and having deep and supportive friendships.
