Title: Hard to swallow, even with a spoonful of honey
Review: I hate to sound sexist, but Secret Life of Bees is the worst kind of chick-lit: overly sentimental, quaint, and "cute." It's the sort of book that's supposed to give you rosy cheeks and make you want to dance the conga in the rain. It's quirky for the sake of being quirky. Sue Monk Kidd herself said in an interview that she didn't know where the story was headed, which is extremely transparent. By the end of the book, the contrived story begins to collpase under the weight of its own silliness.Lily, the fibbing protagonist, reminds us in the book that to lie well, one must say as little as possible. Sue Monk Kidd should have taken her advice.
