I hadn’t read any descriptions of it before selecting it as my first book review–I just really like birds, and I suppose the idea of a book named after an animal that mimics the sounds of other creatures was just inherently appealing to me. Initially, I didn’t really know what to expect from Mockingbird. Some were helpful, some were horrifying, and some absolutely saved my life because finally, finally my reality was being reflected in the written word.
