This book didn’t really keep me on the edge of my seat or have some crazy twist

(although I was shook that she actually murdered Chase because I remember thinking it was so obvious it wasn’t her)

, but the Kya’s character and storyline were so beautifully put together and heartbreakingly realistic that I figured this book deserved at least a 4.5. It told a story of a realistic love, a broken family creating a broken girl, and a young kid learning to survive on her own on the outs of society. I saw myself in Kya while also seeing everyone else but me in her. Her strength has really resonated with me and inspires me to depend on myself, and her connection with nature was remarkable. I really really liked this book ❤️

I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  In January 2021, I kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children only reading when on holiday, having previously being an avid reader.  A very beautifully written book with the celebration of nature and the marshes becoming a character in its own right. A coming of age story, of poverty, and the discrimination of the Marsh girl. Haunting but so so beautiful. A wonderful read
