Wow--very solid. Found this book randomly in a little library and gave it a shot.
Lush, atmospheric, and mesmerizing. I needed this--totally transported me to Georgia in all of its blazing heat and muggy swamps. Patrick's voice is clear and stand-out. Excellent work.

This book was a hidden gem. I don’t think I have seen another person on Booktok or Booksta recommend or even read this book. 

The setting, the characters, THE PLOT TWIST!! All of it is so well done. The characters are young siblings and their relationship and all their different personalities are so adorable. 

All I have to say is please give this book a try! It is so underrated.

DID NOT FINISH: 80%

Boring. Everyone avoids conversation. Did not feel the emotion from the characters whatsoever.
