darlenen 's review for:
The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love
by India Holton
Beth Pickering is working with her friend, Hippolyta Quirm, to find the deathwhistler bird. They are almost close enough to capture the bird, but then Devon Lockely and Klaus Oberhufter nab the bird from right under their noses. Needless to say, this sets off a bit of competition between these four. Beth is the youngest professor of ornithology at Oxford; and Devon is a professor of ornithology at Cambridge. Although they are rivals in their field, they have a hard time denying the attraction between them. Then, the International Ornithological Society starts a competition to find the caladrius bird, The winner will become Birder of the Year and gets tenure at their university. Of course, Beth and Devon both want to win this very badly. Things get really interesting when they team up to find this bird. And of course, they might have to deal with hotel rooms with only one bed or no beds. This book felt like a mix of genres- historical fiction, fantasy, and romance. None of the birds are real, luckily, because most of them could hurt or kill humans. At times the book did seem a bit silly, but it was overall fun and enjoyable.
