OK Outlier here.....122 pages and I'm just not feeling this one. Or I am feeling it's just too weird for me. And I'm usually good with weird. This obviously is a case of it's me not you, as I think all my GR friends loved this one. Blah. Metaphors, symbolism, imagery....call me a simpleton but this one just irritated me. Smells, eating habits, biting...just some of what I was subjected to. It almost felt like an assault. Too whacked for me. Owl babies, dog babies....babies eating dogs....Enough. Going in my DNF file and don't hate me those who loved it. I just didn't have the 'owl' vibe happening. Au revoir, Chouette!

I admit it would have been a shocker if this appealed to every one of us. Oh, and you're no simpleton, so forget that. You have a sharp eye, and miss nothing. Personal preference, that's all.
Good for you for moving onto something (hopefully) better, Jen! I have zero interest in this one.
Eek! Pretty sure I would join you on outlier Island! Great review! 💕

Hoot! I somehow know this isn’t for me, probably because of the ‘mother� stuff. A book about 🦉s I would love. Kudos for giving it a try and a wise decision to let it go.
Whew thank you for confirming that I made the right decision to pass on this one. Excellent review.
Jen, I knew that this would not work for everyone, but I absolutely loved it. What I love about you is how unfailingly honest you are! Don't ever change that!
Good job moving on, Jen! I’m curious what I think of this one since my favorite type of storytelling is the opposite of that. I hope you love your next one!

Obviously this was not the right book for you at this time. I hope you enjoy the next one you pick up so much more.

Jen, I appreciate your total honesty. The description led me to believe this wouldn’t be for me . I think my intuition was right . Onwards !
Haha, I understand where you are coming from. Hope your next read turns out better. :)
Fair review Jen! Sounds wacky for sure.

I’ve seen the glowing reviews but was pretty sure this would be too weird for me. Thanks for confirming it! I hope you love your next!
I don’t think this would be for me either. Onward and upward!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one. Glad I'm skipping it.

Great review, Jen! Ugh, sorry this was a complete dud! Totally understand the pain of being an outlier! Hope you love your next read! :)

I was curious about this one, but I don’t think I’ll be getting to it anytime soon. Hopefully your next one will be a great one!

Ugh! I'll definitely be avoiding this. Thanks for your honesty, Jen. ❤�
I've read some high ratings on this one Jen, but certainly agree that it sounds weird. I have it on my tbr list, but I'm having doubts. There are so many great books to read. Thanks for your honest review :-)
