5.0

Where the Crawdads Sing is such a beautiful book. the mystery feels so secondary to Kya, and everything about her - in the best way! It's a slower pace, which took me a while to adjust to but once I was in, I was IN. a really mesmerising book, which I expect would be all the more interesting upon reread.
