Listened to the audio bc I was scared reading it, but it's okay. I was spoiled by reading the reviews (my bad) but still liked it enough to finish it.

WOW!!!! This book was absolutely amazing. Kya- young girl living in an abusive home deals with living a lifestyle that brings judgment and is ostracized from the surround community. As this young woman gets older she continues to navigate through all of these difficult situations while being utterly alone.

The poetry excerpts within the book give glimpses into the emotionally complex young woman.

While everyone else has been unreliable, nature and its creatures remained present for their never ending lessons and support.

Delia Owens absolutely knocked this one out of the park. The writing was absolutely beautiful. This book moved me to tears.

I read this book during my study hall because I could not stay away from it. I lived the moody, southern gothic vibes, set in the 1960s in a small town surrounded by a mysteriously haunting marsh.

As someone who loves figurative language and imagery, this was a joy to read! From the first page, I was hooked! “Marsh is not swamp. Marsh is a space of light, where grass grows in water, and water flows into sky.” I’ve never been to the coast of North Carolina and I wasn’t alive in the sixties, but this novel transported me there.

My heart ached for Kya so many times as I read this book, so was so young and innocent in a cruel world that she had done nothing to deserve. I love murder mysteries, and especially loved the way this book jumped around its timeframe. That’s all I’ll say because I’m afraid I’ll spoil it if I go on. If you love descriptions of nature, misunderstood heroines, and true love winning out, read Where the Crawdads Sing.
