Little Bird by Tiffany Meuret
4.0
dark funny sad medium-paced

This was erm, very odd? Just a genuinely odd premise. Josie, an alcoholic hermit who works from home and lives with her lil dog, Po, suddenly finds herself interacting with a skeleton (Skelly) in her garden. There's also a lot of vines taking the garden/house over. And Skelly not only talks but judges. Also there's some deeper stuff at play and it all gets weirdly heartfelt??

Saw another reviewer describe this as 'cosy horror' n that sounds about right. Objectively it would be scary, yes, but in actuality this struck 0 fear in me at all. I did, however, have a very good time reading it.

Big thanks to NetGalley, Black Spot Books, and the author for the e-ARC.
Available to purchase on 7/6/22.

Oh and P.S. nothing happens to the dog. Don't fret x
