Recommended to a friend because it was mildly interesting. I wish the conflict with Dr. Foster's views was explored more.

Thank you to NetGalley and SourceBooks Landmark for this eARC of 'The Last Carolina Girl'.
A beautifully crafted glimpse into the past, 'The Last Carolina Girl' offers a work of historical fiction that can be enjoyed by anyone, in or outside a classroom setting- I can easily see this book integrated into an American History curriculum, or an English one. While I enjoyed it greatly, I felt the last third was rush and weak, as though there wasn't a 'good' way to end the story. One of the core concepts is also glossed over, and I wish it had been explored more.
Overall, an easy and enjoyable read with likable characters, well-written and with good pacing. I will be recommending it to friends.

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley- thank you!
This book was so heartbreaking while also being enlightening. I liked Leah as a main character and hated what she had to go through. Definitely a read that will stand out for me this year!

Was a lot like Under The Magnolias, relatable to some degree. I truly enjoy Susan Bennett when it comes to narration and that is how this book was "read." It probably could have ended sooner than it did but otherwise would read it again with some tea and my own two eyes over a narration.
