The Snowbirds by Christina Clancy
3.0
So I went into this book wanting an escape after reading the intense “None of this is true”, and I didn’t quite get that. This book was pretty heavy given the air of lightness the cover suggests, but it was good, in that it kept my interest piqued throughout. It was also one of those books that at around 60-70%, I wished I had read a bit slower and with more intention. It brings up interesting life questions that I feel like I’m on the cusp of asking myself (aka about a decade away), but we’ll revisit that in a few years. It’s weird ok? I can’t explain this book, but I’ll try.
Our main character is mid 50s, and like kind of sitting in a situation of her own making, and truthfully I found her kind of taxing. I can imagine outside of this book, she’d be unpleasant to share a life with, and her PARTNER NOT HUSBAND, Grant, is a puppy dog who is just SO attracted to her and wants to be loved (and has a mysterious childhood that isn’t addressed or it is- I dunno). And he still loves her and is attracted to her even after what I envision as being an awful haircut midway through the book (the characters disagree). It’s a miscommunication trope if there ever was one, and we know I LOVE THAT
