Reese gave her the blankest look I've ever seen and said "Plenty of girls, though."

reading wilder girls is so funny because right after some cute fluff with hetty and reese, you get to byatt's chapters and she's like "yeah okay this one time i lied to a kid about how i made a friend and i wrote letters and even got a picture of me and my cousin to make her believe me and then one day i went to school and told that kid that my friend died and she cried lol" and "i just attacked my therapist"

Wilder Girls Ch. 5

Today, I got through Ch. 5 of Wilder Girls. Below is my summarization and thoughts so far.

📖📚

Hetty is finding it hard to forget about all the food they threw out. She feels guilty.

Welch confronts Hetty. Telling her she needs to snap out of her funk pretty much. Get her friendship with Resse back and go back to normal, p3ople are watching. Welch doesn't wanna hear that it was Reese who started it, and why should she be th3 one to fix things. Still, Welch pretty much tells her to do it or else. Why does Welch care so much? Does she think Hetty will slip and say something? does she think people will wonder? If so, who cares.

As Welch is walking away, Hetty says, "Doesn't it bother you? Lying to everyone? Hetty says it looks like Welch wants to say "yeah it does," but all she does is shrugg and say, "So?" Is Welch really so cold? Is she hiding her emotions trying to stay tough?

When the Tox first started, they didn't really have a name for it. Hetty remembers watching Mr. Harker; Reese's dad, get sick th3n one day he's throwing up black sludge, grainy like dirty. The next day, he runs past the fence. Never to be seen again.

Hetty goes to make up with Reese. Reese asks her what's wrong. Hetty must not hide emotions well. Saying she's okay, they start talking. Reese asks if Hetty saw him, any trace of him, or their old house. Hetty tells her no. What did Reese expect? Hetty to go out there, and oh shit there's Reese's dad?

Hetty says she's going to find Byatt that she was supposed to come out and talk with them. On her way in to find Byatt, a girl comes running out to tell her that Byatt is having a flair up. Hetty is so confused she was just with her, not even 10 minutes ago, she says.

Hetty runs through the school looking for Byatt. Finally, in the kitchen, she finds Byatt on the ground almost seezing with pain, but she can't tell what's wrong, and Byatt can't speak. Someone goes to find Welch to come help. Hetty goes to tell Byatt that Welch is coming, that she'll take care of her. Byatt goes to say something, but Reese puts her hand over her mouth. Telling her to save her voice and strength. Why would Reese do that? Are her and Byatt suspicious of Welch?

Welch has the Boat Shift girls, minus Hetty, take Byatt up to the infirmary. Apparently, the Boat Shift girls are in charge of helping with stuff like that. As they are taking Byatt up, she smashes something into Hettys' hand. Hetty sees its the crackers Byatt had when she found her. Welch sees these and tells her to put them back in rations. Food is food. Hetty can't believ3 what she just heard. Reese tells Welch nah we'll keep it. Welch doesn't argue. Is there a message in the crackers? Why the hell does Welch care so much about these, yet just tossed a shit ton of food into the ocean.

Reese and Hetty are worried about Byatt so much so that there beef they had is squashed. Using all their focus on worrying about Byatt. They end up not being able to sleep. Hettys worried Byatt won't come back down from the infirmary. Seeing as most girls don't. Resse says she will, hetty says don't promise something you can't keep. Reese then says I didn't promise.

[devotion-that-corrupts]

i don't write book reviews, but listen here you guys. i've just binged "wilder girls" by rory power (started it as a distraction from other books i'm reading, but couldn't tear my eyes away), and it was so fun! well, nerve-racking kind of fun. makes your skin crawl kind of fun. it's basically annihilation set in a girls' boarding school. it has female friendship that is both lovely and terrifying (there is also lesbian romance, but it's more of as a secondary storyline). it has so much body horror, with eco-horror elements. it makes you feel vaguely claustrophobic. highly recommend.

#i have qualms with certain decisions (i mean are you seriously telling me that the doctors and scientists didn't get it) #but it didn't really hinder my enjoyment so idc #jay talks #wilder girls #rory power

Review and Spoiler - #3

Wilder Girls by Rory Power

An undescribable toxin in the air, earth, and water has mutated and morphed all the creatures surrounding the island and held within it, including the residents of the Raxter girl's boarding school. Three teen girls, Hetty, Byatt, and Reese, struggle to fight the island, the other girls, and their own bodies to survive.

A luring, spine-tingling, and horrific story. Rory Power's novel never ceases to draw you in and keep you on the edge of your seat. Her grotesque and immaculately written imagery gives the reader a vivid image of the metamorphosis the characters undergo.

Spoiler: No one is coming for them.

She Gets The Girl by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick

Alex Blackwood is a little bit headstrong, with a dash of chaos and a whole lot of flirt. She knows how to get the girl. Keeping her on the other hand…not so much. Molly Parker has everything in her life totally in control, except for her complete awkwardness with just about anyone besides her mom. She knows she’s in love with the impossibly cool Cora Myers. She just…hasn’t actually talked to her yet.

Alex and Molly don’t belong on the same planet, let alone the same college campus. But when Alex, fresh off a bad (but hopefully not permanent) breakup, discovers Molly’s hidden crush as their paths cross the night before classes start, they realize they might have a common interest after all. Because maybe if Alex volunteers to help Molly learn how to get her dream girl to fall for her, she can prove to her ex that she’s not a selfish flirt. That she’s ready for an actual commitment. And while Alex is the last person Molly would ever think she could trust, she can’t deny Alex knows what she’s doing with girls, unlike her.

As the two embark on their five-step plans to get their girls to fall for them, though, they both begin to wonder if maybe they’re the ones falling…for each other.

Wilder Girls by Rory Power

It's been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine. Since the Tox hit and pulled Hetty's life out from under her.

It started slow. First the teachers died one by one. Then it began to infect the students, turning their bodies strange and foreign. Now, cut off from the rest of the world and left to fend for themselves on their island home, the girls don't dare wander outside the school's fence, where the Tox has made the woods wild and dangerous. They wait for the cure they were promised as the Tox seeps into everything.

But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do anything to find her, even if it means breaking quarantine and braving the horrors that lie beyond the fence. And when she does, Hetty learns that there's more to their story, to their life at Raxter, than she could have ever thought true.

I’m sorry, I’d tell my parents, whenever something I’d made came crashing down. I never wanted to hurt anyone. And sometimes I meant it.

But sometimes I didn’t. Anger, depthless and black, and I couldn’t cut it out of me. Growing and growing until it was all I had room for.

Go to Raxter, my mother said. Start again.

And I tried. But we all have things we’re good at.
