Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
5.0
I knew this book was hyped up and so was a little worried it wouldn't live up to expectations. But I was so impressed! I tore through this book and literally couldn't put it down at times.
This book was told from different perspectives which I enjoyed because it allowed you to hear all the different thoughts. My favorite characters were probably Jumpin, Mabel, and Jacob because of how they treated Kya and allowed her to kind of become family.
After reading the blurb I thought more of this book would be focused on the murder but really that was maybe 25% of the book, and it was mostly at the end. That didn't take away from the enjoyment for me as I found myself immersed in Kya's story.
The ending kind of surprised me but that's probably just because I liked Kya so much I convinced myself she didn't do it (he deserved it though so I'm still team Kya). Reading it with an unbiased mind it was probably obvious she did it. Either way, I highly highly recommend this read to anyone who likes character driven stories with some mystery sprinkled in.
