Many thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Sarah Addison Allen - 5 stars!
Zoey arrives on Mallow Island SC after leaving her father's home in Tulsa OK with not much more than her imaginary bird, Pigeon. She is going to reclaim her deceased mother's apartment and go to college in Charleston. Zoey doesn't have many friends and her family left much to be desired. She's disappointed when she sees there isn't anything personal left in the apartment but she's determined to make friends with her new neighbors. And they are quite the bunch - both those that can be seen and those that can't.
Oh, I loved spending time in this place with these characters. The author has created a magical world filled with birds, interesting characters, and so much heart. This book is all about the family we make, finding those who love us just the way we are. It's also a good reminder that everyone has a story and is struggling in some way. I loved all the life lessons here wrapped up in a beautiful but not overly sentimental way. I didn't want this book to end!
