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!
