Wilder Girls

skye_edelson-bennett shared a tip "I liked this book. It wasn't my favorite, although I am glad I read it. Started out a little slow, but I got into it the farther I got."

gay.frogs shared a tip "Idk how to write a review for this book??? Like it was so good in ways that I don't know how to describe??? The suspense, the gore, the fantastical uniqueness of this book was so intriguing. It's so creative and drags you into a world where you feel like you are there with the characters. 100/10. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤"

Freckles_reads shared a tip "Girls, girls, girls<3 The plot was very interesting i definitely enjoyed the idea! Personality I don’t think I would read the sequel, but at least the first book is worth a read"

soulmoon shared a tip "This book has a special place in my heart. It really does show how fast life can change in a instant. I won’t say too much besides lots of chaos & plot twists. Overall would re read 🫶"

leah_3170 shared a tip "I just finished reading this and wow. Definitely one of my favorite books. I really don't understand the negative reviews. The beginning was not slow, and it set up the rest of the book well. Almost all of the characters are female, and personally, I think that's why many people don't give this book the credit it deserves. Romance wasn't shoved in, and the main characters were complex. It's true that many things were 'left out' but not everything needs a detailed description... I only wish the book was longer."

lauren_fahrner shared a tip "Wow. Could not put this book down despite being in the midst of visiting my friend. Love the queer representation and it felt like an actually realistic portrayal of how people would react to a situation like that. I def was trying to guess an off the walls ending like “the whole world is dead outside the island” or something but the end was much simpler than I thought (and I liked I that way)."

rhian_jones shared a tip "I read this a few months before I got likewise so I guess it’s accurate. The book itself was good, strong female characters and lgbtq is always a good sign. It was gory and there were mystery’s in mystery’s. But then, it ended. It was an abrupt ending that left some very important questions unanswered. I haven’t seen anything about another book coming as a sequel so if not having some of the biggest questions of the book answered by the end for you sounds like a dealbreaker, I get it. But good."

padfootblackswh0r3 shared a tip "it was a very interesting book and i loved the concept and ideas that where written. i wasn’t a huge fan of the ending, so i’m hoping for a second book"

abiah_powell shared a tip "Beginning is sort of slow, but certainly picks up towards the end. Very interesting novel. Loves the relationships portrayed and the characters!"

woomo shared a tip "I genuinely loved this book. To me it was the perfect mix of body horror and an actual story that had happy moments. I loved the relationships shown between the girls. It has LGBTQ romance, but there is very very little of it and the only thing that's sensual or sexual in the book is a single kiss. I do wish there was a bit more romance, but overall I loved this book. There are no triggers in this book besides body horror and gore and would be perfect for the sensitive reader.#young_adult_fiction"

kayla_wilson_2437 shared a tip "I loved the atmosphere and overall horror of this book. The ending was rushed, and I wanted more development of the Tox. I was thoroughly creeped out"

sillygoose. shared a tip "this book was absolutely incredible!!! the story was super interesting, i loved the writing style and the characters actions couldn't let me put down the book. it was super creepy and the overal atmosphere was perfect for this story. im also very happy about the queer representation as a lesbian myself! the ending seemed somewhat rushed and slightly unfulfilling, but i cant manage to complain much, this has to be one of my favorites now!"

pUnk_r0ck_dyk3 shared a tip "I really enjoyed this it was hard to put down a the plot keep moving it's swapped between pov well and queer but in a chill way didn't need to be the whole plot it was weaved in seamlessly the ended was rushed but I not sure it was a bad thing I would love a sequel tho"

inutrasha shared a tip "The entire time I was reading this I was like: (monkey noise) ouh. I found the first half pretty slow and hard to get into, but it makes up for it in the last half!! It's more of a survival book than actual body horror, but I still really enjoyed it. Love reading about terrible girls being nasty 🤧"

rebecca_sharp shared a tip "Not my favorite, but worth the read! I didn’t really know what to expect from this one, but it gave me enough. These girls and their illness are interesting and worth a cozy afternoon read."

aya_s. shared a tip "Loved the premise and the writing style! Kinda wish it was stretched into a duology so we could explore the characters and world more. I also would have loved to read when the outbreak started not just over a year later."

mavis_love shared a tip "So good! Has a great plot and a wonderful author. I loved this book so much I had the get the cover printed on a t-shirt. As a queer kid having my mother pick this up for me was truly helpful plus has a great plot and wonderful characters"

kierajd shared a tip "I definitely really liked this book! I loved the details in the characters feelings and how they progressed throughout the book. The ending was definitely a bit rushed as it does leave you a little bit confused. 3.7/5 still definitely recommend!"

isabelle_gindi shared a tip "The increasingly real life like depictions of humanity, Sapphic love, friendship and gut wrenching thrills kept me on my toes. Absolutely breathtaking"

marissa_king_028 shared a tip "It was so well put together. I loved the setting and how the writing would change depensing on which character was talking and what was happening to them."

michelle_carrington_973 shared a tip "This was so boring! The characters made me angry 😠 we spend the first half of the book going over this horrible situation these girls live in. Only to have them act out of character and in an irrational way on the second half. I regret finishing it."

selena_stinson_2742 shared a tip "It took a while to get into this book. But after I got into it I really enjoyed unsettling descriptions of what was going on. Its a creepy book about a creepy "disease." Thats all Im going to say. 😊"

layla_satterfield shared a tip "I just read this book and I loved it! it was creepy enough to keep me thinking about it, but not the creepiest thing I've ever read/watched. I was tearing through the pages and couldn't put it down! definitely would recommend!"

olivia_mardin shared a tip "I had never really read a science-fiction novel but I am so happy I started with this one. It had amazing characters and you really felt like you were in the novel yourself. I would definitely recommend!"

sof_4476 shared a tip "This book was tricky. There are some aspects I truly love like the body horror and where the author was trying to go with the Tox. I loved the wlw romance but it was extremely sparse and came out of nowhere. I feel there were a lot of half formed plot points that did not contribute to the ending of the book. The characters themeselves did not seem to go through any change or moral growth throughout the book as well."

giovanna_russotiesi shared a tip "It’s a thriller/horror with LGBTQ representation. I FLEW threw this book it was so good. I feel in love with the characters and the plot, but wanted more towards the end. Sequel??? Please???"

charlotte_a. shared a tip "It was a slow rythm but I absolutely love the concept, the characters and the universe, a heavy read, it is a bit scary in some parts but overall amazing read 4/5"

estrella_villanueva_1579 shared a tip "Reading this book was very sad and tragic. I felt sick in my stomach toward the middle and I just felt bad for the characters. I am glad I read it but I don't think I can ever read it again."

faythe_goldsberry shared a tip "It took a little bit to get into, but I really liked it. Although I didn't love the ending. But overall, it was a really good book."

eve_azizi shared a tip "Honestly really good book. If you’re into dystopian books with slight gore, you’ll definitely enjoy it. I definitely loved the sub romance as well, good wlw representation"

genesis_pauda shared a tip "Rushed ending but the lead up was good. I kept wondering what was happening, unfortunately I was disappointed but I still liked the concept and I don't regret reading it"

abigail_paulino shared a tip "For people who say that it’s a feminist lord of the flies couldn’t be more wrong. sure it has somewhat of the same feel in the beginning but it evolves into more ordered chaos and love. This book was adventurous and thrilling and kept you on your toes. this book made me fall i love with some characters and hate others and left me crying at the end. definitely a must read but at warning because it will definitely leave you speechless."

kgreen14 shared a tip "As a girl who just lived through a pandemic and is the same age as the character from the start of the disease to finish, this really hit home."

lauren_plokhooy shared a tip "This book was so amazing. At first I thought it would be boring because I was reading it in school but I’m OBSESSED!! It has mystery, horror, and still manages to have cute moments. Mind blown."
