The hype for this book is completely justified! This book is sensationally! I was completely taken by the book and the setting, and honestly I could not put it down. The writing is just so prettily done and the story is incredible. This mystery and twist is crazy good. I cannot say enough about how great this book truly is!

My quick and simple overall: completely understandable how this book is toping all the reading and book club lists because it Is phenomenal.

Where the Crawdad’s Sing has been on shelves everywhere. I initially picked it up in March as an audio book, but the heartbreaking nature of Kya’s childhood made it
