3.5 ⭐️s. Tbh, I didn't expect much out of this one. I ended up having a good time with it though! Explores family dynamics in a speculative way that doesn't feel too hokey.

I received an arc, ahead of release, through Netgalley. All thoughts are my own.
Content Warnings: Pregnancy, abandonment, dementia, blood, and injury.
This was an interesting story about how the trauma of their mother's disappearance affected two sisters differently. We get to journey with them as they try to find their mother while also finding themselves at the same time.
I really enjoyed reading about these two sisters, who seem only to share the fact that their mother is missing, slowly find their bond, and as they journey to find their mom learn more about themselves as well.
The ending of this book, though happy, left me with more questions and a little disappointed. I really wish the book had been slightly longer so we could have explored the ending a bit more.

First thank you to St. Martin's Press, Netgalley, and Ruth Emmie Lang for an Advanced Reader copy in exchange for my honest review
When Finn and Zadie's mom disappeared five years ago she left only an anklet behind. Finn who was 12 went into a foster home and was raised by two loving parents and now after her graudation she is heading on a week long vacation to the beach with her sister.
Zadie was 18 when Nora left and was left to figure out the rest of her life on her own. She's had a few boyfriends to lean on but has slowly watched as the last of her family, made a new life for herself. Now in hopes of reigniting their relationship, Zadie has planned a beach vacation with her sister.
Zadie and Finn, are different from everyone though. Finn can see echoes of peoples memories, and when she discovers a memory of their mother at her graduation party, all of their plans change.
The Wilderwomen was a wonderful story full of beautiful prose that sucked you into the scenery, whether it was the horrible sandy desert or the imposing trees of the Northwest. Watching as these two sisters build back a relationship as adults through the search for their missing mother was so heartwarming and wonderful to read. The blending of the magic with the world as they travel across the west in search of answers of where there mother is and why she disappeared was masterfully done and was a beautiful read.
All in all I would give this book a
