Re: Where the Crawdads Sing - Discussion Thread!
I enjoyed the book but it made me feel sad for Kya. Although she finally ended up with the person she definitely should have, I can't help but feel bad for her because of all the heartache she suffered. One thing I liked about the story is that she died before Tate did. Not that he deserved that, but Kya had suffered so with abandonment.

I felt bad for Tate because his family, including Kya, all died. I was so angry with him for not coming back to Kya during his college life.

One place I cried is when Jodie came back. I think it's a mark of a good writer when they can invoke such emotion from their reader.

I wish the story would have had more happiness, but it was true to life, in my opinion. I can't imagine parents leaving their child(ren) alone to fend for themselves, especially one as young as Kya was when her dad, the last of her family, walked away.

Great pick! Thank you, Mastiff Author Icon, for creating this discussion thread.
