I am just speechless! What.A.Book!

From the beautifully descriptive writing that meant I could picture the marsh, to the mixture of murder mystery, coming of age and romance - this book is something special.

I felt so investing in the characters (Jumpin’ and Mabel have a place in my heart forever), and felt genuine anxiety waiting for trial verdict to come in.

I can’t believe this sat on my #tbr for so long - if you haven’t read it yet, make it your next read, it’s got to be one of my favourite books ever!

Coming of age meets murder mystery. It was alright. Very slow at the beginning. A lot of detailed imagery but I wanted more dialogue at first. Once I got through the first quarter, it picked up more. The ending was a complete surprise which I liked. Wouldn't read again but may be a good book to pick apart in a literary setting/English class.

I can’t put into words how I feel after reading this. This is one of those books you really mourn finishing.
