Wilder Girls is set on an island where Raxter School for Girls is placed. A sickness called the Tox has started spreading 18 months ago, the island is under quarantine and the girls are dying. Hetty’s life is not going well, and when her best friends goes missing she will do anything to find her.

Wilder Girls is a very strange novel. Probably one of the weirdest one I have ever read, and I’m so happy to say that I enjoyed it immensely. It was such an odd experience, but it was a delight as well. The book was told in an engaging way, keeping my guessing and truly caring about the characters between the pages. These girls who has is surviving, who fight and stand by each other. I was cheering for them every step of the way. The f/f romance was cute, but the book doesn’t focus too much on the romance, which I like. The weirdness and the different ideas here are so mesmerizing, and I still find myself thinking about this book. I also really enjoyed the writing, so in the future I have to listen to the audiobook to have this story told to me. While it wasn’t the most “mindblowing” thing in the whole world, the execution and the story was so well told and written that the book really stands out for me. 4-4.5/5 stars.
