Where the Crawdads Sing

This had me for the first half. But I find literary dramas revolving around an “investigation/court cases/court rooms” tough on my enjoyment. It gets too close to real life in how evil and cruelty, hidden motives, nearly always outweighs the truth and results in little and laughable justice. But I'm a government hater through and through. Romance in this felt a tad awkward for me as well.
