The Last Carolina Girl by Meagan Church
4.0
3.5 stars
Thank you Sourcebooks Landmark for the complimentary copy.
This was an enjoyable and very quick read, but I was left wanting more. The synopsis describes Leah as a wild Carolina, I didn't see that. Strong, yes... but wild? Not really. Unless a connection to nature counts her as wild?
I expected a lot more of the eugenics side of the story, but that was just a mention here and there in the story, with one real appearance and then it was gone.
I also felt like 80% of the book was just build up, then there was a brief conflict and then the book was over. I needed that part to be much more fleshed out than it was.
Overall, a good book and I would pick up another by this author.
