Where the Crawdads Sing

A #1 New York Times Best Seller and Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

I loved this book! I watched movie some years ago, but the book was much better. Initially, I thought it would be solely a story of romance but, there were some twists and turns that made the book so much more than just a typical love story. I love the theme of resilience and having the courage to be yourself and do the things you love regardless of what society thinks. Definitely a highly recommended read!
