Between you, me, and the honeybees
(Book)

Josie Hazeldine just graduated from high school, and she's ready for a summer full of sunshine, beekeping, and...lying to her mom. Josie's mom couldn't be prouder about her daugher heading off to college, something she never got to do. But Josie would rather stay in her California hometown and take over the family business, Hazeldine Honey. So that college acceptance her mom is thrilled about? Josie turned it down. And she's going to tell her mom?just not yet. But between her secret and managing her anxiety disorder, Josie's barely keeping it all together. Complicating things further, the neighbor's grandson is in town, and he's artsy, adorable, and interested in Josie. That wouldn't be a problem if he weren't a Blumstein?the sworn enemy of the Hazeldines and their competition in the annual Honey Show at the end of July. Is the possibility of romance?and maybe even love?worth betraying her family over? Juggling all of her secrets isn't easy, but it might be worth following her heart...and keeping the boy she can't stop thinking about.
