Here is the Beehive by Sarah Crossan

Until now, Sarah Crossan has used her sparse, electrifying free verse to galvanise, soothe and intrigue YA readers. Here is the Beehive is her first foray into adult fiction. Three years into an affair with Connor, a client, lawyer Ana is hit by devastating news. As she grasps for reason and comfort, she inserts herself into Connor’s wife’s life. Crossan is typically incisive and direct, not shying from Ana’s compulsions or Connor’s casual cruelties, cataloguing the brief moments of joy, and the stark, repetitive mundanity of their affair. But among the sharpness of the detail, the wit of the dialogue and the grit of Ana’s turmoil, it leaves you a little cold and uneasy.
