wildflowerz76 's review for:
The Meaning of Birds
by Jaye Robin Brown
I received this title as a digital ARC from Edelweiss for an honest review.
Jessica has anger issues, that probably stem from her dad's death. She's trying to get a handle on them, but it's just so hard. Enter Vivi. Vivi moves to their town and Jessica is instantly smitten. What's more, between Jessica's foray into art and Vivi's support, she's getting better at controlling her anger. The girls have a lovely two or so years together when Vivi dies unexpectedly.
The Meaning of Birds was a lovely, heartbreaking story. Told in a series of back and forth between past (all through their relationship), and present (after Vivi's death), the author paints a real picture of grief.
The precise time stamps on the chapters didn't do a lot for me. The "Before" and "After" was enough to go on, the rest was unnecessary and I mostly ignored it. There were some problematic things in here, mostly with the side characters, but the main story was very good. I'd still recommend this one, for sure.
