I really enjoyed this slice of life family story. Being close to the MC's age, there was quite a bit I could identify with.

Late to the party, but glad I finally made it.

I liked it, but I didn't love it. Jim's surprise revelation diminished it somewhat for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

25/80

Ruthiella I felt that last revelation was not necessary. 7d
BarbaraBB Agree. That‘s why I didn‘t like the book as much as Everett‘s other works 7d

It was worth reading. A little slow until about halfway. It had a bit of a covering my ass feeling to it; but overall an interesting, horrifying read.

But what the hell was that wasp scene at end?

A good, sink-into, partially estranged family story. I really liked the characters, the pacing, the writing. I will definitely be reading more this author.

bookandbedandtea I loved this book when I was a kid! I think I was 10 or so when I got it from a book fair and I know I read it multiple times throughout middle school. Child-me was very impressed by Karana. 4w
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I was trying to decide if child me would have been impressed. I think yes that she befriended the dog, but that's about it 😂 4w
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau I think I was impressed that she could survive on her own. 10-13 year old me knew nothing about providing for herself. 😉 4w
