Zoey moves from Tulsa to a South Caroline coastal island, Mallow Island, where her late mother kept a small apartment for her. She moves in with Pigeon, her imaginary bird friend, who is the spirit of her late mother, Paloma. She meets the other residents of the small apartment complex and finds friends, surrogate fathers, and a love interest. ( ) This had so much potential but it really left me feeling kind of flat. I love a story of found family but this seemed to fall short of making me care about most of the characters. I kept waiting for something else to happen to knit it all together but it never really materialized in the way I thought it should have. What a perfectly crafted story! I love Ms. Allen's ability to weave magic and wonder into every page. The characters are wonderful, and she reveals them with slow, tantalizing care. And I include Mallow Island itself as one of the primary characters of the book. She never slides into cliché rom-com trope. This novel is a breath of fresh air, a joy to read on every page, even in the most painful parts. Thank you, Ms. Allen, for a beautiful read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
