π§π΅π² π£π²πΌπ½πΉπ² πͺπ² ππ²π²π½, by Allison Larkin was such a surprise to me. I'm generally not a huge fan of this type of fiction, but somehow, this raw, heartrending narrative grabbed me and just wouldn't let go. April was such a wounded, beautiful little bird and I couldn't help but root for her from the get-go. Of course, that didn't keep me from getting incredibly irritated with her decisions along the way.
Ms. Larkin has done a tremendous job of creating a protagonist that was both strong and incredibly unsteady - a product of her unfortunate upbringing. Larkin leads her readers on a roller coaster of emotions, creating endearing characters that stay with you long after the final page is turned.
So, if you're looking for a novel that is as compelling as it is disheartening, charming as it is frustrating - this is the one for you. It will leave with a feeling of gratitude for your loved ones, along with a desire to run and hug your most treasured family and friends.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Gallery Books for gifting me with this advanced reader's copy!!!
