It just got tedious. The story concept was unique and I started reading with enthusiasm. I read the back story about the author and that further piqued my interest. But then... it got to the point where I would turn the page and sigh, or roll my beady little eyeballs. Lots of people loved it. Many are excited about the movie. I not one of them.
Solid three stars.

Such beautiful writing - so evocative of the marsh that I swear I could feel the breeze, hear the gulls, see the dragonflies, hear those crawdads. If I could write a book, I would want it to be as delicious as this.

There are 101 holes in this plot if you think too hard about it, but if you can ignore your inner critic it’s a fun read.

All the southern food descriptions had me making fried chicken one night and biscuits another, and I’m okay with that.
