okay, i got recommended this book quite a few times, including the lady in the bookstore, lol. i admit i was doing my best to avoid it because of its popularity (my mistake on that one, oops). this is actually my fourth book that's based around a lake/smaller body of water and so far i'll say that Where The Crawdads Sing is the best one yet! the whole experience was so good! i actually read it at such a speed that i could detect most of the details and not miss the crucial moments. i say that because sometimes i tend to rush through books if they are not interesting enough ([book:Everything I Never Told You|18693763] and [book:Every Summer After|58014893], I'm talking about you guys...). 

the writing and the whole story were just so good!! i had my suspicions about the ending and i thought i knew who did it but oh my god, i was so wrong and it felt so good to be wrong, haha. one thing i was not absolutely content with was the ending itself - not the story but the epilogue and all. it did feel a bit rushed comparing it with the rest of the book but it was actually okay?

Kya's death actually felt fitting for an ending of it all.

oh and i really, really liked the poetry! that was such a lovely touch on not only the story but my whole experience while reading it.

I'm v happy that i picked that book up. :) i don't doubt it'll be one of my favourites for this month.
