What Should Be Wild by Julia Fine
5.0
Five magical, feminist, bewitched stars!
I started this book two years ago. TWO. YEARS. I devoured the first half and fell so in love. I was excited every time I opened the book. I couldn't wait to pick it up again.
And then...
I beta read for a friend, and then had to read an ARC to review, and before I knew it, this book was collecting dust on my bedside table and it kept getting pushed off by things I HAD to read.
Jack and I booked a weekend getaway in a cabin in North Georgia for my birthday last week, and I brought this book with me, and once again, I found myself swept away in the story within the first chapter after I picked it back up. I devoured the rest of it hungrily in just a couple of days.
I'll never forget the feeling of reading this all cozied up by the fire after a long day of hiking. <3
But, personal experience aside, this is a must for anyone who loves young adult with a dash of fantasy, mystery, and woman power. I was so intrigued by the concept and I LOVED getting to know all of the female ancestors that made up the entire family. This wasn't just one girl's story -- it was the story of her entire family, of ALL of us, as women. I absolutely loved it.
Five stars and highly recommended! Going on my favorites of 2020 for sure.
