This book's biggest downfall to me was the mislabeled genre as other people have mentioned. I'm glad that I happened to listen to the audio book, because I'm not sure I would have been able to finish it if I was reading. The storyline wasn't that interesting to me and the characters were hard to relate to, so I wasn't super invested in the outcome. The writing style also confused me because she would be writing as if in the present, but then say "I later found out..." relating to the situation, but we don't see her learn the information, so I wasn't sure when the main characters was meant to be telling the story. I did feel like the author was very descriptive of the jungle and the way of life there which I did find interesting, but overall this book wasn't for me.
