Wilder Girls by Rory Power

I wanted to love this so bad - the cover is gorgeous, the synopsis was catching, I love dystopian genre, and LGBTQ+, what could go wrong? Unfortunately, a lot. I didn’t love it like I was hoping.
I feel like we were supposed to wrapped up in this close knit friendship and this pining between friends as well, but none of it was that believable. It seemed maybe Hetty was just obsessed with Byatt without giving us any reason to believe they were as close as she said or Byatt was amazing like she wanted us to believe. Then her “relationship” with Reese also felt like it lacked depth, like they seemed to have strong feelings for each other but no reasons to back it up.
The first half of the book was a bit boring and then it finally started to pick up and I was getting really excited, even the bit of twists about certain characters were exciting. I was thinking wow maybe this will turn out amazing, but wait? There’s barely any pages left.
There was barely any pages left because we got no closure. I’m usually one who is a fan of open ambiguous endings, but I feel like that isn’t what happened here. It just felt like she forgot to finish it.
