I loved this story. I went in not knowing anything other than the title and that it was popular and left in awe of this truly remarkable work. Kaya is such a likeable charachter and I cannot recall a time when I was rooting for a protagonist more than I was for her. This story made me want to go out in the marsh, study science and Chase my wildest dreams. There was a surprise on every page that kept me captivated for the whole 2 days it took to get through this novel.
Sidenote: I listened to this on audiobook, but if you are considering this book, I suggest reading in. Some parts are a little personal to have read to you.

It was a slow burn for about the first quarter of the book. Then it picked up and the character development from the first part of the book came into play. I ended up loving it.

Makes me want to go camping. I feel like I'm out in the wilderness and I just want to be Kya's friend and give her a hug. Found myself rooting for the "marsh girl" and I'm a sucker for stories of people who overcome their bad circumstances.
