B. Celeste is the Queen of angsty books, lemme tell you that.

I looooooooved Where The Little Birds Go! It was a light, quick read. The story is told in two timelines, now and when the characters were in high school.

Corbin and Kinley both have big dreams for the future. Kinley dreams of becoming an author, and Corbin wants to be an actor and eventually play in a Stephen King book adaptation.

After high school ends, Corbin leaves the small town they're living in in pursue of his career, making a promise to Kinley to come back for her. But when he does, it's already too late...

Years later, Kinley's book Through Shattered Glass has become a best-seller and is getting a movie adaptation. And Corbin has been cast as the main hero...

Mistakes are made. And then again. Will history repeat itself, or will it be different this time?


  
    “We’ll keep making the same mistakes because we never want to learn.”
  


The book leaves on a cliffhanger, but the good news is that Where The Little Birds Are will be released pretty soon. Thanks, Barb! ❤

Where The Little Birds Go is a story of first love, first heartbreak, and eventually, hopefully, a second chance at what had been lost. This book had me from the very beginning and I didn’t put it down until I was finished the whole thing.

    “I’m my own puppeteer pulling the strings. And I got tangled.”
  


Some things B. Celeste’s books all have in common – great quotes, characters you can emotionally relate to and the ability to make you cry. Oh, and if you’re a fan of forbidden and taboo reads? She’s your girl.

The thing I loved about Where the Little Birds Are is how smoothly the reading went. Like, I started it and I didn’t get bored and pretty much finished it in one afternoon.

But that’s also what I didn’t like about the book and the story and the characters. I adored Corbin and Kinley. But I didn’t very much like them together.


  
    “Sometimes we choose to do things no matter the consequences because we know we’ll withstand the storm.”
  


I feel like the main story idea could have been told in a much better way. For the conflicts this duet introduces and the theme of cheating, I feel like it was way too easy for the characters to not feel guilty about it and there should have been more heartache and drama. Kinley’s book Through Shattered Glass has more drama and conflicts from the sound of it than Kinley’s actual story.

I also found Kinley to be a very weak character. The minute there’s a tiny bit of hope of her and Corbin being together, she’s all in. All the times he hurt her and what the media said about her was forgiven and forgotten.

And Corbin. He was a sweetie and I related with him being lonely in his marriage with Lena, but I’m a firm believer you never should stay in a relationship that makes you unhappy. He should have manned up years ago and gotten divorce. And he also should have been more aware of what was happening in the media and how people talked about Kinley, and said something despite the danger to his career.

I liked Where the Little Birds Are, but I didn’t really love it. Despite that, I’d recommend it to everyone who like second-chance romance and are into books involving cheating.
