Before reading Amanda Cox's books I did not read a lot of women's fiction. Now I can't imagine missing one of her books. She pens poignant stories of hope, healing and belonging themes that are so relevant in today's society. I read The Bitter End Birding Society on a beach in Florida and blubbered like a baby the last few chapters.
Five books in and you'd think I'd be prepared for the fact that I will cry at some point in her books. Part of Amanda's genius and mystery is I have no idea which part of the story will turn on the waterworks. All of her books should come with a PSA warning that you will need Kleenex.
Kindergarten teacher Ana Leigh Watkins sees the summer as a fresh start to put aside the hometown hero image she feels she doesn't deserve and help her great- aunt prepare for her retirement.
Not knowing what adventures in Bitter End will lead her to she discovers a family branch involving a moonshiner's daughter and a preacher's son.
Once again, Amada Cox draws you into the quirky small town of Bitter End as only she can do. My favorite part of The Bitter End Birding Society was the connection the two older women in the story and how the author had the heroine Ana bring them together. It was exceptional storytelling as only Amada can do.
I'd rate The Bitter End Birding Society a solid 5 star read. Amanda's storytelling that'll tug at your heart strings and stay with you long after you close the book. If you're looking for a story rich in themes of hope, healing and belonging you need to put this book at the top of you TBR pile.
