Birds of a Feather - by Laina Villeneuve Paperback

About the Book

If you see a peacock, do you reach for a camera or a hose? What happens if you grab for the hose and squirt the girl with the camera?

Book Synopsis

Adrienne Stecher has always known she's different, and she's fine with her place on the spectrum. She loves her job and her apartment, and she's happy to help out her grandfather a few times a month. If she could just get the peacocks that plague his neighborhood to stop destroying his yard, she'd be set.

Native to Mississippi, Casey Knight knows beautiful when she sees it, and California is full of beauty. She appreciates everything about her college town--the weather, her job, and the majestic birds that populate her neighborhood.

Though every encounter Casey has with Adrienne seems designed to scare her away along with the birds, Casey keeps finding herself drawn back to her neighbor's granddaughter. Adrienne is adamant that her quirks make it impossible to date, but something about her makes Casey just as certain that they could be birds of a feather.
