I read Wilde about the girl in a couple of days after adoring Wilde like me. Louise’s writing is so incredibly real and emotive whilst also showing humour in places, and it is these things that really makes the reader grow to love Robin Wilde. I can’t wait to see what is in store for her in Wilde Women!

I absolutely devoured this book in just three days. I loved it even more than its predecessor and I am now so excited to read the latest release in the series, Wilde Women.
This book was so captivating and tackled some really challenging topics with total grace and sensitivity.
I'm in love with Robin Wilde and her whole family. It's so refreshing to have a female heroine who handles the perils thrown at her with so much dignity and "togetherness".
Cannot recommend enough.

This is the best book I've read so far this year. WLM was good, but WATG was phenomenal.
I just loved Robin and her story so much, and this book made me laugh and cry the whole time. I barely could put it down. It dealt with some sensitive topics, but in a very realistic and raw way.
Also Louise's writing did really improve a lot since #1.
I am hoping for #3 - the ending was okay, but I still feel like the story of Robin, Lyla and all of their friends isn't done being told.

This is very much in the spirit of Louise Pentland's first Wilde book, so if you enjoyed that, you'll enjoy this!
We have another year in Robin's life, and I won't spoil all the ups and downs, though I will say I laughed and cried at various times!

Thank you to NetGalley and Zaffre for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Note: This is the second book in Louise Pentland’s Wilde series so you need to have read the first book Wilde Like Me before reading this book
.
Robin Wilde is acing life. After having the year from hell Robin has managed to pull herself out of the emptiness she was feeling. Her love life is in a good place, single motherhood is a breeze at the moment and she’s ready for everything that life can throw at her.
An opportunity at work arises and Robin is more than ready to step up and show everyone what she’s made of however life decides that now is the perfect time for a curve ball. Her best friend Lacey is having no luck when it comes to conceiving , her daughter Lyla is starting to adopt some horrible attitudes that she’s learning from other kids at school and this dream role leads her to wonder whether she can trust the people she depends on to make it happen.
Robin is left in a situation where she has to make some pretty brave choices if she’s going to stop everything caving in around her.
I honestly forgot how much I love these characters. Each one is so unique and so well built that you can’t help but want to be a part of this group. I adore Robin, she’s a strong woman who still suffers from insecurities. She has flaws, but she accepts and embraces them. She’s doing everything she can to provide Lyla with the perfect life.
This book was a roller-coaster for me; it had me laughing out loud, crying from heart-break but in the end it provided such an uplifting message. I feel like Louise Pentland’s writing has improved so much from the first one and I am so proud of how far she has come.
I loved this book and I honestly cannot wait until the third book is out!
