A genuine masterpiece, reading this book felt like watching Kya grow up before my own eyes. So many subtly heartbreaking lines and scenes, and I found myself wanting to hug her. #restinpisschaseandrews
Where the Crawdads Sing is one of those books that received SO MUCH hype and lots of great reviews when it released. I just knew when I picked it up that it was going to be an automatic 5-Stars. Sadly, I was mistaken.
I spent an entire work day listening to Where the Crawdads Sing while sitting in my office working on client requests, but I never could get into it. Seven hours of listening to Kya's story and I was still waiting on the hook. On the part where the story would suck me in and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.
That moment never came and I eventually decided to mark this one as a DNF and accept the fact that I'm in the minority with my opinion on Where the Crawdads Sing.

tl;dr: Delia Owens is a racist and together with her former husband terrorized Botswana and Zambia in the 1980s. The book is not even remotely good, and you can have my copy if you come dig it out of the recycling bin.
It’s been a long time since I’ve just completely given up on a book. 133 pages into this shitty novel, and I’m over it. For those who haven’t hear the mega hype about it... There’s a murder in a small town in 1969. Jump back to nearly 20 years earlier—a girl, Kya, is abandoned in her home in a North Carolina marsh in the 1950s. She basically raises herself.
Hmm, geez, do you think she had something to do with the murder?
