This book was unexpectedly my favorite book I read this year. The way this was written had me reeling the rest of it in so fast. I fell so deeply in love with the characters Kya, Tate, Jumpin & even Jodie. I went from wanting to hug Kya and keep her safe, to relating to her and maybe even fearing her a little bit. I gotta see the movie now.

A bit too melodramatic in parts. Eyes rolled at the end. But generally good.

This might be my favorite book I've ever read. A beautiful look at one's inner dialogue, loneliness, perseverance and our connection to Mother Earth. Loved every page of this book, and would recommend to anyone. Especially women who might feel a little lost in life. Thank you, Delia Owens.

Dieses Buch ist eine Mischung verschiedener Genre: eine fiktive Biografie, Naturbeschreibungen und ein Gerichtsdrama.

As a girl who grew up without a mother, I did enjoy this story and the ways in which I could relate to Kya and her longing to see her mother again. Although I found the plot to be a bit unbelievable, it was a nice story. However, the way the dialogue is written, the author portrays the black character’s to be uneducated. It’s also as if the black characters only exist in the story to serve Kya, which is very strange. I also found the beach scene where Kya pleasures herself with the waves to be very strange and a questionable addition to the story.
