The Meaning of Birds
by Jaye Robin Brown
Oh my, what a sad book! This book was full of sorrow and very heavy, proceed with caution. Within the first couple chapters the main characters love interest passes away from asthma complications when she gets the flu and that was just so dang close to current COVID situations I jerked my head back involuntarily.
This is a bit macabre of me but I do enjoy reading YA contemporary that deals with grief. There’s something very raw about the subject and brings a new layer to the story and more complicated characters. The Meaning of Birds really delves into grief on a whole other level. You’ll feel the characters loss and pain on a deep level.
Jess loses her girlfriend and spirals into depression, grief and coping mechanisms. The death of her girlfriend brings back memories of her loss when she was younger, layers of grief are explored in this book. On top of all that Jess is dealing with all the challenges of being a teenager as well. Lots of diverse characters, deep character development, queer rep and mental health topics are explored.
Thank you Indigo Teen for sending me the advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.
