I have mixed feelings..

The description of the "marsh" was beautiful but drawn out while reading those parts but while in the courtroom it was all I wanted just as much as Kya wanted it (ps. listened to the entire book on audio and thought her name was spelled "Kaia"). The mystery was okay and I was satisfied with the ending. it held my attention the entire last chapter but overall the courtroom stuff was a bit drawn out. Also did not like the in detailed description of her.. "discovering herself" with other people- felt very weird when she was like 15

I think that this week when I sat down and said "I'm gonna finish this book by October 16 (last day to see the movie on Netflix) was the best choice for me but because it took me so long to finish this I can't give it a higher rating... like I said: A mixed bag of feelings
