wunder 's review for:
Wild Things
by Laura Kay
I wanted to like this more than I did. It has great characters, a good sense of place, snappy dialogue, all that stuff, but I kept getting off-balance. Is the book about El's wild list, about her unrequited love, about the house in the country, about her insecurities? It would start down one path, then shift focus. Then the resolution was so fast that I wasn't 100% bought in.
One other thing, when the book describes one of the characters a brown boy in pink shorts, I'd kinda like to see that on the cover.
Probably just not the right book at the right time for me. If it sounds good to you, give it a shot.
This was a NetGalley ARC, the book will be published in May 2023.
