The Bookworm says... Yes! The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton was a really good book! Generation upon generation of the Roux family have been blinded by their ability to love. Ava and Henry are not spared from this fate. Henry doesn't speak, yet he is still a kinder heart than most. Ava is born with a full set of wings, yet very much just a girl with a heart that's too big for her body. 16 year old Ava Lavender just wants to understand her family and the world that se has been shielded from, but she has a hard time seeing around her curiosity. Ava Lavender seeks to unveil her family history and the stories of the people around her, and try to just be a normal girl (which proves to be quite hard with a pair of wings).
Honestly, the whole beginning of this book came off as very strange to me. If I had been the type to stop reading a book when it disinterested me, I wouldn't have finished it. But let me tell you- the second half of this book is incredible.
"Love makes us such fools."
