Middletide by Sarah Crouch
5.0
Genre: Literary Fiction, Mystery
{TW: suicide, grief/loss, intimate partner violence}
From the moment I picked this book up, I couldn't put it down. I am absolutely dumbfounded that this has not gotten much more acclaim and attention since it's release in June 2024. Crouch writes a story that is both beautiful and suspenseful at the same time, with atmospheric writing similar to William Kent Kruger and Delilah Owens. I loved the love story that served as a background plot to the larger plot about what it means to move on in life after significant grief and loss and this theme of the story was done so incredibly well. She wrote a story that gives life to the idea that grief comes in all shapes and sizes and there is no right way to heal.
Crouch is an outstanding writer and I was compelled to find out how the story ended while also rooting for each and every character...even the ones who turned out to not be so great. Overall, I will recommend this book to anyone and everyone who will listen because it was that good. Do yourself a favor, read the damn book.
