This is not the type of book I’d usually pick up, in fact, quite the opposite. But I’m happy to report I LOVED it!
This book made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I could really find myself in Ava’s character and was rooting for her happiness. I loved the symbolisms throughout the book, they were very well done. I loved the love story, and that it wasn’t cheesy and overdone. It was well-balanced with other themes, and brought a smile to my face. 🥰
My only critique is that the bird theme felt a bit overdone. I loved the symbolism, but how did nobody in this village question that all of it’s inhabitants shared a bird’s name?
Overall a great find. Happy to finally read a book that hasn’t been heavily promoted by influencers yet!
