Wilder Girls

I really wanted to like Wilder Girls but personally, I just could not connect with the characters. From the beginning, I did not feel like I was introduced to the world well. It felt like I was just dropped in without any context. I did not feel a connection to any of the characters mainly because I felt like they had no voice in the writing. I felt no personality. Teenagers are full of feelings and I feel like this situation would make them angry yet I got nothing from them to indicate that. The love interests felt force. I think the book would have been fine without them since we felt no connection to that love either. The ending was a disappointment as well... I feel like the entire book was just a lead up to the last 2 chapters where you learn the purpose of the disease and then that is it.
