As she digs deeper, she learns disturbing truths about her school and what else is living on Raxter Island. And that the cure might not be a cure at all .
Déstabilisant...
Si tu cherches une lecture joyeuse et positive, passe ton chemin. Si tu cherches un roman qui ne te laisse pas avec plus de questions à la fin qu’au début, passe ton chemin.
Wilder girls, c’est un genre d’ovni sanguinolent dans lequel ce n’est pas tant l’histoire qui importe que ce qu’en font les personnages, ce qu’elles en pensent, ce qu’elles en apprennent. C’est déjà la merde quand le récit débute, et rien ne se passe bien dans ce livre. Pourtant, c’est une lecture addictive, il y a quelque chose de fascinant et de beau dans ces pages, que je ne saurais décrire précisément.
C’est fort et féroce, bien qu’assez déstabilisant.
Après ça, je vais avoir besoin de quelque chose de coloré !
