Where the Crawdads Sing

Wow, this one kept me interested THE WHOLE TIME. I got it on Audiobook from Libby and I listened to about 1/4 of it on the first day at work, and all night I was thinking about it. I finished it the next day because I literally could not stop listening. You feel like you live there with Kya. It's such a good character book and the development of Kya into the final character is so wild. The last chapter makes you love the whole trial aspect, even more, when you understand the characters so well and you get to see a whole extra side of them. This is apparently the author's first novel, and wow. I loved this book.

This also reminded me a lot of the book The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. Not the same plot really, but just the same kind of feelings while reading it. Overall, I recommend.
