This book is getting more interesting as I read it. Lily doesn't like June to much, and June is a bit annoyed with Lily she doesn't really want Lily here. I think she doesn't want her because Lily is white. But then also Zack a black boy in high school has just came back to working at the honey house, and Lily she says it is the first time she has been attractive to a black person. She likes helping him in the honey house they sing songs together while pasting on stickers on the honey jars. It is a certain season where some type of flowers come out and the honey is then purple. One day Lily and Zack go on a delivery for honey jars its about a 2 hour ride. Lily right now is feeling many different feelings. On the ride there she is laughing her head off she is so happy. Zack asks her what she wants to be when she grows up she said a writer, Zack wants to be a lawyer and Lily says she has never heard of a black lawyer before but she knows he will someday. When the get to a house to drop of some honey the both go to get the honey but they stop and look at each other, Zack seems to lean in and she thinks he is going to kiss her but then he doesn't. On the way back so does not say anything she just is so confused. He finally pulls over on the road and she starts to cry, he hugs her until she stops. When they get back Lily feels bad about all the different feelings. Lily now gets the news that she is sleeping alone in the room because Rosaleen is going to sleep in the room with May so she won't be scared. That night Lily misses the snoring of Rosaleen but she cant sleep, every time she hears the siren of an ambulance or a police car she feels as if it is the cops and her dad coming to get her. She just is so worried. I hope she starts having fun again.
