Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin
2.0
An interesting concept but unfortunately I just didn’t enjoy how it was executed.
My first major issue with this story is the whole ‘he’s so mean to me but it’s okay because he likes me’ trope which I just think we should’ve moved past by now. In what world are we saying it’s okay for people to be genuinely horrible to others and justify it by saying it’s because they like them??
Second, Iris literally went to her mum to tell her how uncomfortable she was with Pike and yet she insists on forcing her to spend time with him. I mean don’t fire the guy because they don’t get on but at least don’t force her to go alone into the woods with a man who she has specifically told you she does not like and doesn’t feel safe with.
Finally, I didn’t realise just how big a focus this book would have on the romance. I usually wouldn’t mind but I just found some of the romance plot points (i.e the condom??) to be a bit random and out of place.
I personally wouldn’t recommend this book but I do think I will try another Rachel Griffin book in the future because I did enjoy the writing style.
