Absolutely gorgeous storytelling and scenery. The reader would most definitely be able to distinguish the authors' love/knowledge of nature and animal behavior. I was so excited to pick up this book every time I would leave for my work commute. Highly recommend this novel to those seeking inner reflection about society, abandonment, wilderness and isolation, or anyone who loves swampy-marshy-salt-crust themes.

It was painfully slow until she met Tate. I almost dropped it, but it was so worth it in the end!

A compelling mystery along with a compelling coming of age story. The main character is resourceful and often independent until a man shows up. My main qualm with this book was the relationships between the main character and her lovers. Poorly written and even the good guy was problematic.

Moderate: Adult/minor relationship

Detailed descriptions of sexual encounters including one non consensual attempt that includes physical abuse. At one point the main character at 15, who lives alone in the marsh, is dating an 18 year old boy about to go to college.
