Wilder Girls, by Rory Power

3.0

Though the the mystery of what’s happening to the girls on Raxter Island is initially intriguing, I found the choppy and a bit disjointed writing style kind of detracted from the plot. And though Hetty and Reese seem easily cute as a couple, the backstory felt underdeveloped. Same with Byatt’s. I think I was mostly interested in unraveling the full story of what’s happening on the island, but the girls themselves felt very two dimensional. Also the decision to end it ambiguously seemed kind of lazy to me (I’m assuming it’s meant to be a stand alone? Though even if it isn’t it still didnt feel like a decent enough setup).
