I am currently reading Wilder Girls by Rory Power.
First off, the cover is stunning. Aykut Aydoğdu's artwork is honestly breathtaking and I can't stop staring at it. I love the colours.
I have heard so many mixed things about Wilder Girls, and from people I trust, so I'm not sure what to expect. I know that in theory it's right up my street - it's queer and dystopian. I do know that I love this beginning.
Oft, this line. Isn't it excellent? I think it's really good at underlining how bleak the world in Wilder Girls is, making their reality more real.

The Tox took who they were, took everything except how to hold a knife.This is still relatively near the beginning, on page 56 of the UK paperback.

I did love the start of this one. I hope you enjoy the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteI also have heard many mixed feelings about this book, so I have decided to stay away from it for now.
