It is always nice to check out new authors, and I am glad I checked out “Bird After Bird” by Leslea Tash. It is not every day you come across a heroine and hero who make a connection over birds and what they represent in each others life. I thought this book was insightful, sweet and romantic.Laurie, is a great guy. He is an artist with a sensitive soul that you can’t help but fall in love with. His connection with Wren is instantaneous. Both characters are trying to overcome losses in their lives and find in each other kindred spirits. Wren, is a free spirit. What I really like about the her character was that you really could feel where she was coming from. Her reasoning for the decision she made was logical, and seeing her emotional journey throughout the book was really nice. The use of bird metaphors, and the importance of birds in general stream throughout the entire book. If you hate birds, this might not be the book for you, however, I thought the bird theme played nicely throughout the book.On a side note about birds; I have never really given them much thought, but because of “Bird After Bird” by Leslea Tash I might give bird watching a try. This book takes place in Indiana, as a fellow Hoosier I found of the setting descriptions delightful. It is always fun to read about places that you know about or that you have been.I thought this book was sweet and delightful. I thought Leslea Tash told a really nice story. There were some parts that I wished she would have delved into more, however by the end you felt like a complete story had been told. I thought this book was a nice change of pace from the typical romance/new adult books that are currently out there being written.
