I would bargain that Betty will remain to be the best book I've read all of 2024. I can't help but fall in love with stories that are so drenched in the little section of the Appalachian region that I was raised in and get to call home. Despite being set in the past, I saw so much of why I love this place and so much of why I want better for it.

emotional sad

there's a lot going on here. will have to think on it some more before settling on a rating (it's either mid-4s or 5).
