Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley

5.0

I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did. I was bored out of my mind and decided to give it a try, thinking that I wouldn't even read a chapter. But before I knew it, I had devoured the book. Something about the way it is written just makes you want to never stop reading it. It's sad, simple and straightforward.

This small-town story made me feel so many things at once. It's about life and people and the impact we have on each other. It's also about a bird.

I love this book for teaching me that "We can just be" instead of messing up our own lives stressing about anything and everything. This weirdly depressing book made me feel happier and lighter and made me think that life doesn't have to be so hard after all.

Also, I think this is one of those books that you either love or hate. And I loved it.
