In the story Mac, the chef, makes a special meal for Zoey and Charlotte at his restaurant and the dessert is whipped milk & brown butter cornbread. If you love a bit of magic throw in a sweet story with a hint of romance, you’ll enjoy any of Sarah Addison Allen’s books, especially Other Birds. There’s even a ghost who throws cornmeal on one character every night while he sleeps, so he will finally let her go and live his life. Two of my favorite things about this book are the magical realism and the food in her stories as a mean of love and care. They all seem to be healing from painful pasts, but they’re all come together to work toward a new beginning. They are all a bit quirky and all probably hiding something. One has an invisible bird, another has escaped a cult, and even another survived abandonment as a child. The characters are are all somewhat broken with terrible backstories.

Other Birds is a story about finding your family. I secretly would love to live at The Dellawisp and meet all these people. “When Zoey Hennessey comes to claim her deceased mother’s apartment at The Dellawisp, she meets her quirky, enigmatic neighbors including a girl on the run, a grieving chef whose comfort food does not comfort him, two estranged middle-aged sisters, and three ghosts. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather be an other bird than just the same old thing.” “There are birds, and then there are other birds.
