Honey & Spice follows Kiki, the witty host of the podcast Brown Sugar and a closeted romantic at heart. When Kiki denounces the mess of modern dating, she finds herself locking lips with Malakai — who she’s also called out on her podcast. The two wind up in a fake relationship, becoming friends, enemies and lovers over the course of their time together. It’s a book Witherspoon herself calls “very sexy” and “very funny.” But what else does the self-professed book club queen think of this enticing new read? Let’s find out.
