This book broke my heart into a million tiny pieces so many times. It's just so sad and yet incredibly beautiful. It gets love so right: among humans in its different forms and towards nature.
There's so much more to say about it but right now I'll say it's become one of my favorite books.

Compelling story, outstanding character development, heart wrenching, informative and ultimately hopeful. A profound wakeup call on human and worldly levels.

Very relatable characters. Living life with a cause. Indomitable spirit. Overcoming hardship/trauma. Finding hope amidst anguish.

5.0

I loved this book. Beautiful, aching, and tragic yet hopeful despite it all. I could hardly put it down between the beautiful writing and the snippets of Franny's past that left me wanting to know more. My only complaint is

that the very end where her father shows up felt abrupt and tacked on

. But overall I thought this book was breathtaking. 

Editing to add that this book has made me extremely grateful for all the birds and other animals in the world, and has truly made me appreciate them when I see and hear them.
