I liked this book but I didn't find it anything special. It was the story of 2 girls, 1 black and 1 white, and their "accidental" murders of men who deserved it. I can see why it got compared to "Where the Crawdads Sing" since it was set in the same time period and they girls were living in a swampy area but besides that they were pretty different.
