Thank you to Blackstone Publishing and Libro.FM for the ALC of Wandering Wild by Lynette Noni. All opinions are my own.

After reading and loving the Prison Healer series by this author, I knew that I wanted to read her newest book. I was not however expecting to be so obsessed with this story that I would read it all in one day.

Wandering Wild is an emotional and adventurous story about two teens that are grieving but also learning to live again.

As someone who is currently grieving, I related a lot to the characters in this story. While my circumstances aren’t the same, I could really understand the feelings of helplessness and loss of purpose.

Zander and Charlie came from different backgrounds, but I loved how they learned over time that they actually had a lot in common. It was nice to see them bond during their emotional conversations and during moments of peril.

The adventure aspect of this book was so well done. It had me anxious and fearful for what the characters would face next, but it was also exciting and reminded me of watching Romancing the Stone.

The romance in this story was so sweet, and I enjoyed seeing the characters slowly fall for each other over the course of their time together. I felt that the emotional intimacy was well done.

I listened to the audiobook for this story, and I loved both narrators. Charlie was from Australia, so I was happy that the narrator also had an Australian accent.

Overall, I loved this book and will definitely be re-reading it in the future.
