Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley

2.0

So if the story is about a bird, it's already ranking pretty high in my book! :) There is something near and dear about a good bird story - and for that, yes, the book had an intriguing bird story - a great mystery and twist at the end as well. BUT, I do not think we needed all of the foul language - it wasn't even necessary and there are relationship/sexual scenes that I also felt were tricky in a YA book. I have heard Whaley speak and thoroughly enjoyed that but the book just did not measure up to what I was hoping. I struggled to really "know" the characters and just felt the content frustrated me since it was intended for teens and felt more "adult" in nature.
