I love India Holton’s books. Her mix of absurdity and heart fit me perfectly. The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love is no exception. I laughed a lot reading this road trip, forced proximity, fantasy historical romance but also was moved by two vulnerable main characters who, while in top form in their professions, were so unsure about their deserving of love (of course they do). It’s a lovely book with a little spice, a lot of heart, and more bastardizations of the word “ornithologist” than I could have ever dreamed up. So excited for the next book in this series out this year.
