Odd Bird by Lee Farnsworth
4.0

This quirky read is brimming with humour, endearing characters & references to our feathery friends.

I loved that this was a male lead romantic comedy, I haven't read many so I was interested to read from this perspective, I found it to be a refreshing take on the genre.

Simon himself is a fabulous character amusing and well-drawn, he is very easy to root for. There are some laugh-out-loud exchanges between him and his well-meaning but often hinder some best friend Phil.

I really enjoyed the bird references Simon is constantly comparing his love life to what he knows the courtship behaviour of birds. Which is fascinating & surprisingly similar to our own in places.

Overall, an uplifting debut perfects for fans of The Rosie Project.

A huge thanks to Fanny Emily Lewis & Farrago Books for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
