When We Were Birds by Ayanna Lloyd Banwo

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.

I couldn't deal with the irregular grammar. I'm sure a lot of people find that aspect of the book charming, but it just didn't work for me personally.

Overall a good book. I really enjoyed the writing style, characters, and pacing. That said, as someone who typically reads lighter books, I found some points a bit difficult to follow, especially due to its length.
