Into the Jungle by Erica Ferencik
4.0
LOVE the environment of this novel! the descriptions of the amazon villages and the people and their lives and the rain forest are addictively interesting (while the parts about poachers and how the modern world is encroaching on these native people and the rain forest are so sad).
the author is super talented at creating vivid and varying descriptions of this place and lifestyle that seems at once full of change and always moving and so unknown, but also stifling and stagnant and repetitive.
while the whimsical whirling romance was unbelievable (to me, at least - but i'm sure there are people who'd follow someone they've known 2 months into the rain forest to live, no questions asked), i wasn't disappointed, as the plot moved along to the excitement of the jungle.
