Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
2.0
slow read and just did not enjoy it? the love plots never drew out the characters more. felt like whoever she met and liked her she just went with it. I understand that self-worth isn't something that may come naturally to her but I didn't like her character progression. The nature and love for the marsh was beautiful but I would have loved it shared more in the text. And the ending was predictable in my perspective. Wasn't much of a commentary either... Didn't feel it was worth the read took me forever to get through it
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
5.0
Gorgeous and mesmerising writing. Though portrayal of women characters and sexual imagery was unsettling... The way depression, loss and grief was portrayed was beyond consuming. Read the book in one go. Murakami truly has a way with words. The character coming in term with grief and growth was beautiful to read.
