Books, Writing, and Content for your Reading life
I went into reading this book imagining it was going to be the Lord of the Flies for girls, but it's really not close to Lord of the Flies aside from the fact they're quarantined to an island for 18 months with no idea if they'll ever get off. Here's more about Wilder Girls: I'm [...]
