I really liked this book, Appalachia is definitely an underrepresented area of America and think this is a beautiful homage to nature and the people who coexist with it there. (I'm not sure why the white author chose to make Bennie a Black character, this feels a bit shoehorned and heavy handed).

I did not really connect with this story and didn't finish it at this time. I may pick it back up later on when I am looking for a lit fic read.

Book was slow and not the vibe I was looking for at the time.

Motheater isn't a bad book, but it was a bit of a let down because I'd expected to love it and instead just feel neutral towards it. If anything, it just left me wanting more. The pacing was slow, the writing was repetitive at times, and the romance felt more like an afterthought.
