Such promise with this book! I wanted to love it, but it wasn't quite there. Leah is the only character with much depth and although we see her struggles, more of the subplot being woven into the story would have not only driven the pace of the book, but the overall connectedness. Solid read, not to the level of Where the Crawdads Sing.
