It's a fine story but wasn't for me. I got it because I liked where the crawdads sing and it is similar. Set in the past, different times, discrimination and bullying, loss and life. But what I liked there was that the character was like, bad? This is the same swing in that something happens that is bad, decisions are made, the works, but it just feels like this was a choice that most would have made so it doesn't feel like a gasp i liked this character and now I'm conflicted.
So good story, not for me.
