Blue Birds by Caroline Starr Rose
4.0
Blue Birds is a historical fiction novel written in verse, and follows the lives of two young girls from two different worlds. It is a tale of forbidden friendship, grief, and family. It's beautifully written, and pulls at all the right heart strings.
I'll be honest: 100% of the reason I picked this up is because I noted that it was set on Roanoke Island, and I had just watched the Buzzfeed Unsolved episode about that island. I had enjoyed the episode and was looking forward to reading a story within the setting - and was happy to see the author clearly had done her research. Lets be real though, I was low-key hoping this story was going to end in a zombie apocalypse.
Despite it not doing that, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this book and would recommend it to anyone wanting a book that is quick to read, but with a strong and emotional heart.
