Atlanta couple Ben and Nina were supposed to move in together and start their happy ever after, but when Nina tells Ben her dog, Sid, can talk, Ben can’t believe her and their romance unravels. Alternating between Ben and Nina’s POVs, Songs by Honeybird follows the once-happy couple as they cope with the end of their relationship: Ben dives headfirst into research for his dissertation on the history — and mystery — of Honeybird, the South’s first integrated rock band, and Nina tries to reckon with her talking dog, as he puts into question the events surrounding her father’s death. Will the buried secrets of the past bring Ben and Nina back together — or will the secrets they uncover forge for them entirely new paths? Accompanied by a soundtrack of original songs, Songs by Honeybird is a novel about what can begin after a relationship ends.
This new novel by Peter McDade is scheduled for release on March 29th, 2022. His publisher Wampus gave me the opportunity to get an early look for an honest review.
