I have to say I didn’t care that much for the murder plot but I loved reading about Kya’s growing up, although the ending time skip felt a little too rushed.

Didn’t really see the plot twist coming considering it had already been previously established that Kya was innocent.

This book was so good, an emotional rollercoaster. I honestly can’t think of anything to say, I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning reading this and I get up at 6:30.

A beautifully written and cultivated book.  The writing is incredible and the way the author lures you in with a permanent backdrop of nature and unique characterisation is brilliant.  However, plot-wise, this book just wasn't  my cup of tea.  I recommend this to anyone who wants a nature-filled story with a murder mystery subplot and a large focus on coming-of-age drama.

A good and easy read, but filled with a lot of descriptions. 
  
A heart-warming and heart-breaking story of love, loss, and life.
  
Not hating on this use of a simile, but just as the marsh goes on forever on a hot sunny day, so do the author's words describing the marsh, the sea, Kya's shack, the forest, etc., which is quite a lot of the book.
  
It could also be seen as slowing the story down by using the multi-worded descriptions, as another simile as to the hot sticky summer days that seem to go slow and drag on.
  
I did enjoy the book as a whole and would recommend it as an easy read, a summer read, to get out of a reading rut, or just enjoy a casual read.
