An honest review thanks to NetGalley. The two words that describe this book is cute and sweet. The over exaggerated personalities and situations make you think cute. This is not usually my style but if you are looking for a sweet adorable read then this is it for you.

ARC received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Didn’t really enjoy this. The main characters are both unlikeable, Emily’s a doormat, Sydney’s obnoxious and manipulative, and them together, not great. Especially because Emily was already in a relationship.
I’m also not that into birds, so the backstory didn’t grab me either. The supporting characters are more caricature than characters and the whole magazine rival thing was boring. By the end I didn’t care if they got together. Two stars.

Emily Wellington is the owner of a bird magazine who urgently needs a breakthrough article to keep it afloat. When she travels to Ojai, California to search for an elusive flock of Madagascar lovebirds, she wasn’t counting on crossing paths with gorgeous but infuriating pole dancer Sydney Cooper. As they get to know each other, their attraction is undeniable but Emily is engaged and Sidney is not interested in getting involved with anyone. Will they have their happily ever after?
This is a light, funny and entertaining read based on an original idea with the beautiful setting of Ojai valley in California.
As she did in ‘The butterfly whisperer’, Ms. Moreau describes nature skillfully. I particularly loved her use of birds’ metaphors throughout the book. The dialogues are funny and witty, the main characters are lovable and their chemistry is spot on.
‘Lovebirds’ is mainly a romance with a bit of adventure at the side. I should warn romance fans that this book deals with infidelity, though it is mild. Additionally, some situations felt a bit forced and unrealistic but they suit the lightness of the plot. In order to enjoy this book, I suggest not to take it too seriously.
Overall, an ok read if you are a nature lover and you aren’t too bothered by mild infidelity. 3.5 stars.
