Blackbird
by N.D. Gomes
Wow, this book actually broke me and my heart.
On 31st December 2015, two things happen. Firstly, 5000 blackbirds dropped dead. And then Olivia McCarthy disappears. But this book is only about one of those things. We follow Olivia's sister Alex as she tries to come to terms with her sister's disappearance, and then tries to find out what really happened to her, along with the help from DI Birkins.
This book is part mystery thriller, part emotional comtemporary YA about family, and loss and grief. It really was a roller coaster of a ride throughout this story as you see a family essentially crumble and try to get through the pain and hurt of what's happening to them. It was such a raw emotional book and I was there with my girl Alex all throughout this book, hoping and praying she would get some answers and some closure. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
