Other Birds

It had mystery and it had intrigue but it wasn't overwhelming. It was light and fun. It wasn't overly complicated or hard to keep up with. It was a book you read by the pool or on vacation where you get lost but don't have to overthink it. Cute.

Sarah Addison Allen never fails to delight me with her characters and her stories. I have read every single one of her novels, and I just keep coming back for more. I think that Zoey's character could have used a bit more development, but I still loved it. The mix of characters; Zoey, Charlotte, Mac, Oliver, Frazier, Lucy and Lizbeth and the stories about their lives and how they all come to be together at The Dellawisp is great storytelling. The ghosts just add to it, although most aren't truly revealed until the ending with the exception of Camille. The tiny, whimsical dellawisp birds just added to the story. I won't go into the story line other than to say it was delightful and atmospheric and I loved it. If you want a good read you cannot go wrong with any of Sarah Addison Allen's novels. Looking forward to whatever she writes next.
