A 2015 William C. Morris YA Debut Award Finalist

Magical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga.

Foolish love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Ava -- in all other ways a normal girl -- is born with the wings of a bird. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naive to the twisted motives of others. Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the summer solstice celebration. That night, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air, and Ava's quest and her family's saga build to a devastating crescendo. First-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human.

Lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for daily use”
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 55
This sunscreen is perfect for daily use. It has a very lightweight texture and absorbs almost instantly without leaving any greasy or sticky feeling on the skin. I love that it doesn’t clog pores and works well under makeup. It provides great sun protection while keeping the skin feeling clean and comfortable throughout the day. Definitely a reliable option if you’re looking for an effective, non-greasy sunscreen.

Nice Sunscreen
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 55
I bought this sunscreen for everyday use and I really like it. It feels very light on the skin and does not feel greasy at all. It blends in quickly without leaving a white layer on the skin. It also does not cause any breakouts or irritation. The size is easy to carry in a bag, and the smell is mild. Overall, this is a simple and reliable sunscreen for daily use.

Sheer yet protective
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 55
I have tried many different sunscreens and sunblocks; this brand and SPF 55 seems to work perfectly. It goes on sheer, does not leave any white residue and gives the exact protection I need. Would recommend highly.

Real Review after 2 months

Great and easy to use, because of liquid based. No need to reapply again for every 2 hours. Because I tried it every day

Works great
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 55
So no Sunscreen worked for me. I tried almost everything. Then I tried this one. Its seems pretty well. That absorbs the skin and does feel greasy. Very nice.
