Untamed Shore by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

4.0

---

Untamed shore takes place in Baja California following 18 year old viridiana as she questions what she wants in life and dealing with three mysterious strangers. Silvia Moreno- Garcia’s writing is simple but so elegant, I just love her descriptions of Baja California. The story starts slow but gradually grew more tense especially after that death happen. I enjoy our main character viridiana and loved her development throughout the story. It was nice seeing her go from native to learning how to use the skills she learn from the white family. I wished some of the side characters were fleshed out more but oh well. The commentary on class privilege was also well done,. Overall this book was amazing from the plot and setting to the main character, and I can’t wait to read more from this author
