Birds of Paradise | 
so-soA family saga centered around young runaway Felice, who is drop dead gorgeous but insistent on punishing herself for a traumatizing loss she experienced. Avis, her mom, is heartbroken and loses herself in the tenuous work of baking. The dad struggles with health, how to navigate brokeness and feeling adrift, and Stanley - the stable& sensical older brother- who just is always overshadowed by the phantom of his sister. The family reunites in hope

A popular choice for book clubs in my area, set locally to me and by a local author (she lives here in Fort Lauderdale, my home away from home)....😎🌴
This is a family story, full of revelations, that reveal themselves as a hurricane ominously approaches. And the writing is beautiful 👍💕
pickThis took me forever to get into, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Heartbreaking but beautiful. What gorgeous language. And never read this on an empty stomach.
I'm in it, and I like it, but damn it's depressing. No more depressing than what I usually read, really, but it's hitting me harder for some reason. It's making it tough to finish!!
