DTF.... Way too boring. Gave up halfway through. Just not worth finishing ugh
I can’t believe I took so long to read this book! It was fabulous! The audible narrator had the perfect Southern lilt to match what I imagined Kya was like. A tender, heartbreaking story of being abandoned and then learning to survive despite the loneliness and the obstacles like lack of money. Kya is a fiercely independent, smart, creative girl/woman who loves the marsh and through the marsh learns love and trust.
There was much about this book I loved, and I found the mystery well crafted and satisfying, but in the character of Kara, there is just too much the reader is asked to believe. Those "too much-es " were too much for me and ultimately spoiled this otherwise excellent story.

What. A. Story. Now I understand why this was made into a movie. The imagery and the characters instantly suck you in. The story of Kya and Tate is so special. This is a must read! Now I need to go watch the movie.
