Synopsis:
“Who do
you choose, Vannah?”
She’s
standing at the door, her dark green eyes slicing open the distance between her
gaze and mine. And I’m just staring back at her. And three thoughts are all
that are on my mind:
I love
this girl.
I love
this girl.
I love
this girl.
She takes
a breath. I hold mine. And with that, a silent thought slips into my cadence.
I love
this girl.
I love
this girl.
I love
this girl.
Choose
me.
Choose
me.
Salem and
Savannah have known each other since childhood, and nearly every memory they
each hold, they share together. But when Savannah tells Salem that her family
is moving to South Carolina only days into their sophomore year of high school,
Salem is devastated.
They vow
to spend the rest of Savannah’s time in their small hometown, together,
rewinding the last ten years of their young lives, until one day, Salem wakes
up, and Savannah’s gone.
But
that’s not the last time their paths cross. In fact, life continues to
intertwine their stories, until one sunny afternoon, Salem walks into their
hometown’s newspaper office and looks up to a familiar face. It’s Savannah, and
she’s just the same as the last time he saw her. The only problem is, he’s not.
Based in small-town Missouri, A Bird on
a Windowsill tells the story of a boy and a girl who share one
past. And now, at twenty-three, having spent the last five years apart, they
both must navigate the delicate line of loving and letting go, until they’re
each faced with a choice that could change their future—and their story.
My Thoughts….
Oh My Gosh. A Bird on a Windowsill is a book that
pulled at my heart throughout the entire story. From the first page when a young girl meets
a young boy and ask if he was hers I was invested. I wanted to be part of the story seeing the
friendship develop, seeing the feelings grow, and watching these two wonderful
children become what they were meant to be.
The story is not complex. It is a story of best friends that have the
potential of becoming more. The story
of two young people trying to figure out life. It is sweet, loving, beautiful, and
simple.
Vannah
and Eben are lifelong friends. Every
memory of growing up includes them being together. I am not sure I have ever read a book that
was more true to friendship. They were
friends, best friends, for so long that it was impossible for them not to have
stronger feelings. I was torn on
whether I wanted them to take the next step.
Would moving on change the relationship for the better or the worse? All the way to the end I could not
decide.
I am a fan of Laura Millers. Laura has to put her entire heart into each
book and it shows in her writing. I
highly recommend picking up your copy of A Bird on a Windowsill
immediately.
