It took me very few pages to realise that I was going to be an emotional wreck during the reading of this one.
Waller's writing is beautifully tender, with genuine moments of humour as her characters interact with each other.
Goodbye Birdie Greenwing explores relationships between family and friends, it's about hope and loss. Its about learning to live with the decisions we make.
Even though you know Birdie is going to die (spoiler alert) Wallers writing allows you to believe that something else might just happen...you know like when the runaway train is stopped at the last minute or the plane manages to land safely in a corn field...
Wallers writing gives you that sense of positivity even when you know it isn't realistic.
So yes, be prepared to have your heartstrings pulled as you connect with Birdie, Jane, Min (bleddy love Min), Frankie and Ada.
But trust me, it's worth the snotty noses and tears, because by the time you close this book you will be so bleddy glad you did!
