The Wilder Girls, by Rory Power

[rachelmanija]

I reviewed The Wilder Girls by Rory Power, an Annihilation-esque YA horror/sf novel about a girls' boarding school infected by a bizarre disease that mutates them. It's got lots of vivid imagery (much of it so nauseating that I had to skim) and an excellently hothouse atmosphere of desperately intense emotion, until YA dystopian plot tropes dissolve it all into a barrage of nonsensical plot twists.

F/F content: central F/F romantic relationship, equally or more important female relationship that may be platonic or may be romantic but not sexual.
