Update 5/30/2021: I forgot to post this update a while back, so I'm posting it now. This review was written before I learned of her alleged racist and bullying remarks/actions. I do not support her stance and actions. While the book is a really good story, I felt I needed to point this out. If you want to read Wilder Girls, please get a second hand copy or borrow it from your local library.

I won't go into too much detail. I went into this book blind, and I think you should to. All I knew is that it took place on an island, and was a sapphic horror.

I honestly couldn't put this book down. It was such an amazing read, and probably a brand new favourite of mine. I love how it is intense, but has its soft moments. The characters feel real (even though you don't get to know them a whole lot), and the relationship that develops feels natural. I also like the focus on the sapphic relationship, but it doesn't take over the plot. It also feels deserved instead of the token lesbian couple.

Also, if your copy includes the extra scene from Reese's perspective, make sure to read it. You will be missing out if you don't!
