So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life - until the unthinkable happens.

Former piano prodigy Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without anyone learning about her past and to make the boy who took everything from her - her identity, her spirit, her will to live - pay. Josh Bennett’s story is no secret: Every person he loves has been taken from his life until, at 17 years old, there is no one left. Now all he wants is be left alone and people allow it because when your name is synonymous with death, everyone tends to give you your space.
Everyone except Nastya, the mysterious new girl at school who starts showing up and won’t go away until she’s insinuated herself into every aspect of his life.

Slow start, but patience is your friend here.

Publisher's Summary
National Book Award finalist and best-selling author Meg Rosoff's charming, hilarious new novel about a young New Yorker's search for happiness and the two dogs who help him find it - the perfect summer listen.
Jonathan Trefoil's boss is unhinged, his relationship baffling, and his apartment just the wrong side of legal. His girlfriend wants to marry someone just like him - only richer and with a different sense of humor. He doesn't remember life being this confusing back before everyone expected him to act like a grown-up.
When his brother asks him to look after his dogs, Jonathan's worldview begins to shift. Could a border collie and a cocker spaniel hold the key to life, the universe, and everything? Their sly maneuvering on daily walks and visits to the alluring vet suggest that human emotional intelligence may not be top dog after all.
A funny, wise romantic comedy set in Manhattan, Jonathan Unleashed is a story of tangled relationships, friendships, and dogs. Rosoff's novel is for anyone wondering what to be when they grow up and how on Earth to get there.

Absolutely loved it
I totally loved this book. Already a devotee of Rosoff's YA books, I'm hoping that this will propel her into wider fame; it certainly deserves to. It will appeal to fans of books such as David Nicholl's One Day but it has a gentle, subtle yet incisive humour that is also entirely original. This is just beautiful writing.
As for the performance, I thought it would have been excellent, except for the constant mispronunciation of words. I don't mean American English, I mean that the narrator had apparently simply not come across certain words before: 'glutinous' pronounced as 'gluttonous', for example, or ' orange blossom ' pronounced as if it were blossom that was orange- coloured! These verbal typos and lots of emphasis in the wrong place occurred really quite frequently and were an irritation in what was otherwise a narrative voice well- suited to the story.
