A review by ellekeene
What Should Be Wild by Julia Fine

1.0

Honestly, one of the worst books I've ever read. None of the flashbacks are full enough to evoke any emotion from the reader. It is impossible to figure out the time and place of the core narrative. The protagonist does not act in any way that is cohesive from one event to the next and is so, so insufferably stupid. That romance? Why? The villain's completely transparent to anyone with half a brain cell and the better choice is dull as dishwater. The protagonist herself is so half-baked and repressed that every sensation she feels is positively orgasmic. Every choice is made with paragraphs and paragraphs of indecision, pouting and navel-gazing. The main conflict? Isn't one. It's a hug. You're welcome.

It wants to be scary, but isn't. It wants to be erotic, but it isn't. I cannot wait to unhaul this.
