Birds of a Feather by Laina Villeneuve

4.0

An interesting well thought out romance between Adrienne, a woman who is on the spectrum of neurodiversity and Casey, who has moved far away from her homophobic family. Set in a very small town in California, near to LA but quite old fashioned in its outlook, with a flock of Peacocks and Peahens that drive Adrienne mad. The other main character is Adrienne's grandfather, a lovely gentle but stubborn man. I really enjoyed the story of all the main characters and how they interact together, the connection between Adrienne and Casey builds slowly before really catching fire in a realistic way, with communication that can be rare. An engaging story, well told by an author who is also neurodivergent and therefore understands what she is writing about.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
