I want to preface this review by acknowledging the pure writing talent Suanne Laqueur, the author, has. An Exaltation of Larks is probably the most beautifully written book I have read this year and I am so grateful to have received a free copy of it from DartFrog Books. There are many topics addressed in this novel, but the most prominent one is definitely friendship. Laqueur explores what it means to be a good friend and shows how the thin line between friends and family can become blurred. The concept of "chosen family" is prominently displayed in this title. I will admit that the plot was overdramatic at some points (think soap opera-esque), but I personally did not think it took anything away from the book itself. I highly recommend checking out this backlist title!
