The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender is a book by Leslye Walton. Its about the Rowe family and how they seem to have cursed love. Whenever they fall in love, something unexpected and terrible happens that leaves the relationship and the person in ruins. The newest addition to this family are twins Ava and Henry Lavender. Henry is mute for much of his life and Ava was born with the wings of a bird. They can't fall in disastrous love if they are forced by their mother to stay in the confines of their house and the hill it sits on, can they? Or so she thought...
I did not like this book. It was very disturbing and confusing. I could not make sense of the plot or the characters and the whole book was just sad. This book reminded me of the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson which I also did not enjoy. If you like a confusing book that you can not quite wrap your head around then you will enjoy this book.
I would give this book 2 chickens. This book is for ages 12+.
If you like books about family curses or genetic mutations, I'd suggest The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare, or The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld.
