A review by hmatt
Wilder Girls by Rory Power

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I found it slow to start, but the second half of the book is super fast-paced and SO GOOD. I wouldn't classify it as YA necessarily, or at least not "traditional" YA - the main characters are teenagers but that's really it.
