Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen
4.0
This felt different than other Addison Allen books, but not in a bad way. There's a bit less emphasis on finding significant other love and more about a mother's love and finding peace. There was a surprising reveal, I was genuinely surprised when I found out, and there are not so surprising things. I think the assortment of both help to create a red herring effect because you KNOW about a couple things even though you aren't explicitly told yet so you don't really think about other things.
This is more about Zoey's ascent into adulthood (she's college-aged) and hoping to reconnect with her dead mother (figuratively) by moving into her mom's old apartment on Mallow Island. It's also about the relationships we form with other people since Zoey tries to make friends with the five others living in the small apartment complex tucked out of the way.
This was a fun quick read. I'm glad to see a new Sarah Addison book out as I've missed reading her stuff.
