I would give this one more than five stars if I could. I adored it— the story, the stunning way Owens writes about nature, Kya and her complex character, the dynamics and tension between the characters, the way a story of a girl growing up flawlessly wove together with a murder mystery, the layers that built upon one another beautifully throughout the pages... I didn’t want this one to end but also couldn’t put it down. It will be a favorite for the year (and years to come) for sure.
