A review by jlsjourneys
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

3.0

I did enjoy this book, but I’m not as effusively positive as many. I always hesitated to pick it up as I didn’t think I was so excited about a book set in the southern swamplands, and indeed, I wasn’t. But a well-written, interesting book, heartbreaking story with notes of joy. There’s a reason why everyone has read this & I’m glad I did, but it’s not finding a place on any favorite novels lists for me.
