Bewitching. Breathtaking. Beautiful.
Wildwood Whispers was a cozy, thought provoking story about loss, grief, opening your heart again, "found" family, sisterhood, experiencing the beauty of life all around you, and daring to be brave to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. It was about community, love, acceptance, and finding your true self, and inner strength. It was Practical Magic meets Steel and Sweet Magnolias, mixed with a little Virgin River, Fried Green Tomatoes, and a whole lot of magic.
But why use so many comparisons for such a unique story? Because it's one that you can reach for when you need a comforting read, the same way we watch/watched/re-watch the movies and TV shows mentioned above. Wildwood Whispers stood on its own as a powerful story, but it held bits and pieces of nostalgia and enchantment from influences of the past.
I loved this one so much. It was heartwarming and wild. I already bought Willa's second book, and I can't wait to reread this one!
