Touching, but slow.
The story of Honest "Bird" Bennett is profoundly deep and heartfelt. Navigating adolescence, coming of age, and learning the harsh reality of life, Avery Irons weaves a fantastic tale of survival and determination. This book held wonderful points of prose that stop you in your tracks and make you ponder the profundity of what has been written.
Unfortunately, I just feel like the story drags a bit. There is movement and direction, of course, but it's just not at a speed that made me feel engaged or curious. This is a beautiful novel if you're looking for something to slow down and enjoy reading, but not if you're looking for punchy lit fic.
Thank you to NetGalley and University Press of Kentucky for an ARC of this book.
