Known as the marsh girl, Kya has been on her own since about the age of 10. First her mother walked away. Then each of her siblings left one by one until Kya was all alone with her drunk and abusive father. Shunned by the town for her peculiar ways, Kya survives alone in the marsh until Tate and Chase seek her out. When Chase ends up dead, Kya is the lead suspect. Told in flashbacks, Where the Crawdads Sing is a everything a book should be...It's a love story, a mystery, and tale of self discovery.

When Cadence returns to the island after missing a summer, she tries to uncover what happened.

I can't comment too much on this one because I do not want to ruin anything. It is definitely at the top of my list of books to recommend. The best I can do is tell you to go read it and avoid any reviews or summaries.

Beartown by Fredik Backman

When it comes to reading, my favorite books (and movies) are almost always realistic and often involve sports. When my book club selected Bear Town, for the month's selection, I couldn't wait to read it. Set in a town where hockey is EVERYTHING, Bear Town addresses many of the issues surrounding athletics. Current athletes in Bear Town are at the top of the social ladder. The town itself is in desperate need of a winning team to bring it out of financial ruin and is willing to risk anything and step on anyone to make sure the team wins.
