Wildlife

By Fiona Wood

Release Date: September 16, 2014

Summary: During a semester in the wilderness, sixteen-year-old Sib expects the tough outdoor education program and the horrors of dorm life, but friendship drama and an unexpected romance with popular Ben Capaldi? That will take some navigating.

New girl Lou has zero interest in fitting in, or joining in. Still reeling from a loss that occurred almost a year ago, she just wants to be left alone. But as she witnesses a betrayal unfolding around Sib and her best friend Holly, Lou can't help but be drawn back into the land of the living.

Fans of Melina Marchetta, Rainbow Rowell, and E. Lockhart will adore this endearing and poignant story of first love, true friendship, and going a little bit wild.

--------------------------------------

The very first thing that drew me to this book was the cover. The colors and the fonts are so pretty! I didn't even look at the summary before I added it to my to-read list. Going onto the summary, this one sounded like such a fun book. I love how it takes place at an outdoor education program where the main character finds romance. The summary does hint at a bit of a serious storyline with Lou's loss, which makes it seem even more interesting. What happened, and how does her new friendship with Sib and Holly help heal her hurt? I guess I"ll have to wait and see to find out!
