Issy Brodsky, single mum and single-digit income, finds a job compatible with her skills (laissez-faire attitude and flexible - thanks to the yoga). Now she works for the Honey Trap Detective Agency for a permanently premenstrual transgender boss. But what she hoped would be a simple nine-to-as-early-as-possible job becomes increasingly complicated due to a missing finger, a noisy neighbour, an angry Jewish client, an unsolved murder and a dose of chicken pox.
Honestly, I think this book is very ADHD-coded 😂 The way the author jumps between the honey trap job, her son, her mental health and all her random inner dialogue should NOT work as seamlessly as it does… but somehow it does. If anything, I think my ADHD brain was perfectly equipped for it 😂
As a mum myself, I related to her SO much. She’s ridiculously funny, and somehow managed to make the chaos, dilemmas and situations she finds herself in feel incredibly relatable. Single mother to single mother… I was like, “Yep. I get you.” 😂
It’s funny, chaotic, honest and such an easy read. I loved the way it felt like you were just following her through her life rather than reading a story that had to fit neatly into a box.
Absolutely loved this one. A genuinely fun, relatable and easy 5-star read. 🍯
