I’m obsessed with this book! I picked it up blind and didn’t know what I was getting in to at all, but once I was about a third of the way through I couldn’t get enough!

THANK GOD Kya and Tate got together in the end, I would have been very mentally unwell if they didn’t. Also the bomb at the very end of Kya as Amanda Hamilton and the evidence of her killing Chase??? INSANE!

I usually don’t love books written in third person but I loved this once and I think it was necessary in order to include so many different perspectives (mainly Tate’s). 5 stars for sure!

A compelling mystery along with a compelling coming of age story. The main character is resourceful and often independent until a man shows up. My main qualm with this book was the relationships between the main character and her lovers. Poorly written and even the good guy was problematic.

Moderate: Adult/minor relationship

Detailed descriptions of sexual encounters including one non consensual attempt that includes physical abuse. At one point the main character at 15, who lives alone in the marsh, is dating an 18 year old boy about to go to college.

Super tragic backstory that makes you fall in love with the main character. So many plot twists at the end; I could not take my eyes off of this book! 10/10 would recommend for people over the age of 15.

I liked the book. It was right up my alley—coming of age, abandoned outcast girl one with nature from a broken home. The book was more evidence about how alcohol ruins people (140, wide print version). Made me cry numerous times. For those who liked this book too, I recommend “Mij’s Testament: Ailand” by Gail O. Dellslee.

Favorite quote:

“Imagination grows in the loneliest of soils” (41).
