Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
3.0
really this was a 3.5 stars - it was literally just average. I’ve read much worse and much better. Some parts I really enjoyed, some parts I did not like, though this isn’t a genre I typically read so that might have something to do with it
liked: immense environmental knowledge from the author, beautiful poetic descriptions of the marsh and animals, great characterization of Kya and her attachment (and I liked the audiobook accents). I liked the last chapter
disliked: I got bored in multiple chapters, and I did not find the plot believable at many points. I completely skipped chapter 39 on purpose because it was not completely necessary, but it was triggering. The last 5 chapters felt so rushed
