I have been wanting chickens for years and years, but I am a city girl and chickens didn't seem like something I could have. But I was wrong! In November 2018 our city council passed a chicken ordinance and suddenly my chicken dreams seemed like they could come true! I spent last winter reading everything I could find about chickens and researching everything having to do having chickens in the city, and what types of coops would be best.

Although I liked certain parts of this book, there were other parts I didn't like at all. I loved the setting and the setting description a lot. I also liked the premise of the book. It was a fairly quick read, but I did have trouble with the flow of the story. The writing seemed jilted at times, and it didn't flow as smoothly as I would have liked. The main part of the book dealt with young Olivia and her relationship with her recently returned father. He had been largely absent during her youth. I found him to be very unlikable.
