Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig
4.0
Miriam Black is either cursed or blessed with a little talent. She can touch someone and know the date, time and manner in which you die.
Miriam just floats around not really belonging anywhere. She smokes.
And drops more F bombs than I do.
She stumbles upon a guy named Ashley and he has a metal case that he is all protective over. Miriam goes against her better instincts and hooks up with him.
Miriam knows she shouldn't get involved. Best thing would be to slink out of the bar with the antifreeze bourbon under her arm, never give a look back. Of course, she's never been the Queen of Good Decisions.
She also gets picked up by a do-gooder trucker and sees his death. That she witnesses. She tries to stay away from him because she thinks she can't change fate but here's hoping.
Stuff just doesn't seem to work out for Miriam. She gets in more trouble in this book than I do on Goodreads.
I LOVED her character. She admits to being a bad girl but not a bad person, because duh, you can't save em all.
AND the best part. I picked up some new cussing from her.
"No shit. Your dull, Eurotrash seed couldn't father a donkey. Though I'm sure you've tried, you froo-froo piece of shit donkey-fucker skinhead."
This book also taught me what a Blumpy was..because...
I read this one as a buddy read with Kelly, Delee and 2.0 It will probably end well since 2.0 reads everything wrong.
