This Cover Up is going to be my favorite books I've read, that have under 2k reviews, that are also (mostly) purple.

Watch With Me: Where the Crawdads Sing

  

Movie: Where the Crawdads Sing
Genre: Drama 
Rating: PG-13
Length: 2 Hrs 5 Mins
Release Date: July 15th, 2022
Director: Olivia Newman
Stars: Daisy Edgar-Jones, Taylor John Smith, Harris Dickinson
What it's about: 
A woman who raised herself in the marshes of the Deep South becomes a suspect in the murder of a man with whom she was once involved.

What I thought:
I haven't read the book yet, but I absolutely loved the movie. It made me feel so much, anger with the father and with her boyfriend, sadness for her, there were swoon-worthy parts. It had me completely sucked in. The mystery had me needing to know what happened and I didn't know what to believe or who to believe. 

Overall:

If you liked this movie then watch...

Fun facts:
Based on the bestselling novel by Delia Owens.

Delia Owens: The author of the novel is seen in the courtroom sitting on the front row behind Tom when Patti is testifying about Chase's shell necklace.

Features the original song "Carolina" written and performed by Taylor Swift.

When Chase and Tate are fighting on the landing, in a wide shot, you can see that Harris Dickinson slipped out of and nearly lost his left shoe. It cuts to a different perspective and the shoe is back on.
