Well, this has certainly been a great trip! What I loved most in this book is the way it portrayed London. Since I've recently visited it, it just brought back all the memories from walking its streets and neigbourhoods. And as for the story itself, its a light rom com, a bit predictive, but still quite charming. Perfect for a lovely day inside with a cup of tea or coffee :).
A big thank you to NetGalley for a free sample of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ok, can this book be more perfect? I really doubt it.
How can someone describe a beggining and the end of love? How can someone describe all of the things a couple goes through from the start of a relationship up until the moment when after years of marriage love just starts to slip away leaving you with nothing but the pain? How can someone describe the emptiness and the heartbreak and the sadness that rips you apart? Well, Colleen Hoover found a way.
The central topic of this story are infertility issues, and how it can affect someones life. What happens when after years of trying the happines you expect just slips away? When the two blue lines start beiing the only way to the life you want? Colleen brings us a wonderful insight of the stiuation, where the reader really feels the pain and the suffer of main characters and the weight that comes with the fact that the only thing that should keep them closer only makes them fall apart.
Can one love survive not being able to give each other the life that they always imagined?

I have to say that the expectations for this book were pretty high from the beginning. Not only that the majority of this virtual book community loved it (or at least their reviews said so), but my best book buddies also gave it all the possible stars. The beginning was pretty hard, with all the words describing the marsh and the animal and biological species inhabiting it, but once the story went on, I got pretty hooked up on it. This is an astonishing story of a brave young six year old girl, left alone in the most uncommon place, the tiny shack in the middle of the marsh, with nothing but her own instincts and brains to help her survive. It is the story of living in fear but also in sync with the nature, coping with loneliness and betrayal, searching for love and giving second chances. What the author did the best was describing Kya's need for love and her inner fights between staying independent and strong, and falling for someone, giving herself and trusting another person. We follow her through her search for acceptance, her two big relationships, her growth and her heartbreaks. But one day she gets accused of a murder. And then it all goes downhill. The perfect surroundings and nature get replaced by the cold and life free cell, and the story of her interesting life gets transferred into all court drama. If only that part was a bit shorter, I'm sure I would enjoy the book a bit more. Nonetheless, the ending gets it right in every possible way, (so be sure to stick to it).
What I loved the most was the character of The Marsh girl - sometimes stubborn, sometimes to hard on herself, but intelligent, strong, observant, sensitive and always in search for knowledge and understanding. Maybe its just me or the time I was reading this book, but even though I loved the main characters Kya and Tate, their love story which was so romantic and unspoiled, I just couldn't get all the emotions I felt I needed. I wanted to care for them, I wanted to root for them, I wanted to cry for Kya's unfortunate life. But, it just didn't happen. Hence, that's why the 4 stars for me. I will still definitely recommend this book to my friends, because of a great story, interesting plot and a breeze of a fresh air that this book gives us, taking us all to the wild parts of the marsh.
