Read Because: numerous BookTube recommendations, ebook borrowed from the Multnomah County Library
Review: Ava Lavender was born with wings, and in her attempt to discover why she researches and records her family's long history of magic and heartbreak. This is reminiscent of the novels of Alice Hoffman: whimsical and bittersweet magical realism with a focus on families, a combination that offers frothy magical elements and overdrawn, almost archetypal characterization. This style simply isn't for me, and I put the book down at around 30 pages.
