This week’s book: If Birds Fly Back
Title: If Birds Fly BackAuthor: Carlie Sorosiak
Publisher: HarperTeen
Publication Date: June 27, 2017
A sparkling debut about love, family, and the mysteries of the universe.
Linny has been fascinated by disappearances, ever since her sister Grace ran away in the middle of the night without saying goodbye.
Sebastian can tell you how many galaxies there are, and knows how much plutonium weighs. But the one thing he can’t figure out is the identity of his birth father.
They’ve never met, but Linny and Sebastian have one thing in common: an obsession with famous novelist and filmmaker Alvaro Herrera, who went missing three years ago and has just reappeared. As they learn more about the mystery of Alvaro, Linny and Sebastian uncover the answers they’ve been searching for.
With humor and heart, debut author Carlie Sorosiak weaves a story of finding people who leave and loving those who stay, perfect for fans of Jandy Nelson and Emery Lord.
Thoughts
I am so interested in the idea of two strangers who are both interested in a mystery in If Birds Fly Back. The theme of family also intrigues me, as this is one of my favourite topics in YA. This book seems intense yet sweet, and I can already tell that I will love it since it is recommended to fans of Emery Lord. I can’t wait to read If Birds Fly Back in the summer!
I love finding out about new books, but especially when they’re debuts!! This one sounds super amazing, and I’ve been wanting to read more contemporaries lately, which is unusual for me 😀 Wonderful pick!

Here’s My WoW
This one is new to me – I hope you enjoy it!
This looks interesting 🙂 I think I’ll wait for some reviews etc. Before deciding whether to read this or not 🙂
I typically read the early reviews myself, too! 🙂
I saw this book a while ago on NetGalley or Edelweiss and thought it looked interesting. The whole mystery aspect is also very intriguing. I’ll for sure be adding it to my TBR.
Oooh! I will have to check and see if it is available to request! 🙂
The cover looks very interesting and the summary seems to promise a great book. Hope you´ll enjoy it when you get it.
Best wishes
