Loved this book. Alaska, fishing and great characters.

Mixed feelings about this one....I felt the blurb was misleading, I was expecting a light read about a young woman finding herself, resolving issues while in Alaska, but it really was a book about working in the fisheries/fishing industry. The descriptions went on and on and yet they were hard to visualize.
The author chose to write a female as the main character, yet it felt like a teenage boy was speaking. The reactions, emotions, speech, it all felt off to me. I found her unformed and unlikeable. Her fascination with an old boat did not ring true to me. There were too many secondary characters, many more than were necessary, and it felt like the author was just trying to tell us about all of the different people he himself had met. Unfortunately few of the characters were well developed, and they dropped in and out of the story so often that I kept getting them confused. The storyline about the Native man especially annoyed me, it seemed like he had a very interesting backstory but it was never explored, and his behavior seemed random and unlikely. Again it felt like the authored met someone like him - briefly- and tried to expend an encounter into a relationship.
My favorite parts were about the dog!

Could not get into this book at all and ultimately abandoned it. Tara felt like a cliche to me and the dialogue was awfully stilted to my ear. Maybe people more interested in the Alaskan fishing industry will have better luck with it.
