Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

adventurous emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

4.5

i read this entire thing this morning, work is slow so i figured i’d bring in this book to see if it’s as good as people say and i devoured it. kya’s story broke my heart & then put it back together again. it is definitely one of those stories you have to sit on for a little bit. loved it, and surprised at how much i did. i usually don’t love mystery-type books (they stress me out) but i really enjoyed this one. i need to finally get around to watching the movie.
