every sapphic book i love → wilder girls by rory power

how will we ever survive this if we don't survive each other?

[screechwhisper]

Reese gave her the blankest look I've ever seen and said "Plenty of girls, though."

I’m reading Wilder Girls by Rory Power and I’m obsessed with Hetty and Reese. Can’t wait to finish this to see where it all leads!!!!!!

I’m sorry, I’d tell my parents, whenever something I’d made came crashing down. I never wanted to hurt anyone. And sometimes I meant it.

But sometimes I didn’t. Anger, depthless and black, and I couldn’t cut it out of me. Growing and growing until it was all I had room for.

Go to Raxter, my mother said. Start again.

And I tried. But we all have things we’re good at.

Wilder Girls Ch. 5

Today, I got through Ch. 5 of Wilder Girls. Below is my summarization and thoughts so far.

📖📚

Hetty is finding it hard to forget about all the food they threw out. She feels guilty.

Welch confronts Hetty. Telling her she needs to snap out of her funk pretty much. Get her friendship with Resse back and go back to normal, p3ople are watching. Welch doesn't wanna hear that it was Reese who started it, and why should she be th3 one to fix things. Still, Welch pretty much tells her to do it or else. Why does Welch care so much? Does she think Hetty will slip and say something? does she think people will wonder? If so, who cares.

As Welch is walking away, Hetty says, "Doesn't it bother you? Lying to everyone? Hetty says it looks like Welch wants to say "yeah it does," but all she does is shrugg and say, "So?" Is Welch really so cold? Is she hiding her emotions trying to stay tough?

When the Tox first started, they didn't really have a name for it. Hetty remembers watching Mr. Harker; Reese's dad, get sick th3n one day he's throwing up black sludge, grainy like dirty. The next day, he runs past the fence. Never to be seen again.

Hetty goes to make up with Reese. Reese asks her what's wrong. Hetty must not hide emotions well. Saying she's okay, they start talking. Reese asks if Hetty saw him, any trace of him, or their old house. Hetty tells her no. What did Reese expect? Hetty to go out there, and oh shit there's Reese's dad?

Hetty says she's going to find Byatt that she was supposed to come out and talk with them. On her way in to find Byatt, a girl comes running out to tell her that Byatt is having a flair up. Hetty is so confused she was just with her, not even 10 minutes ago, she says.

Hetty runs through the school looking for Byatt. Finally, in the kitchen, she finds Byatt on the ground almost seezing with pain, but she can't tell what's wrong, and Byatt can't speak. Someone goes to find Welch to come help. Hetty goes to tell Byatt that Welch is coming, that she'll take care of her. Byatt goes to say something, but Reese puts her hand over her mouth. Telling her to save her voice and strength. Why would Reese do that? Are her and Byatt suspicious of Welch?

Welch has the Boat Shift girls, minus Hetty, take Byatt up to the infirmary. Apparently, the Boat Shift girls are in charge of helping with stuff like that. As they are taking Byatt up, she smashes something into Hettys' hand. Hetty sees its the crackers Byatt had when she found her. Welch sees these and tells her to put them back in rations. Food is food. Hetty can't believ3 what she just heard. Reese tells Welch nah we'll keep it. Welch doesn't argue. Is there a message in the crackers? Why the hell does Welch care so much about these, yet just tossed a shit ton of food into the ocean.

Reese and Hetty are worried about Byatt so much so that there beef they had is squashed. Using all their focus on worrying about Byatt. They end up not being able to sleep. Hettys worried Byatt won't come back down from the infirmary. Seeing as most girls don't. Resse says she will, hetty says don't promise something you can't keep. Reese then says I didn't promise.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ book review:

Wilder Girls - Rory Power

live laugh love wilder girls. i LOVED THIS BOOK. the setting. the characters. even the BODY HORROR i LOVED IT AAAAAAAAAA

okay so raxter was my favorite book setting i think of all time. something about being stuck on this freaky, beautiful, wild island was so enrapturing. i DIE. it was like the whole northwest gothic thing twilight has going on but instead it was an island full of weird and messed up little creatures. not to mention the SCHOOL ITSELF. It felt very survival-y but also friendship??? somehow??? lots of hope while facing crazy stuff???? 

so. i go insane over our mains. they’re all so amazing and flawed and wonderful. the dynamic is amazing (that first scene with the bunks KILLS me omggg i die for platonic affection). you guys know i hate romance in horror, but this was so background (and well written and didn’t dilute their platonic feelings) (+gay) (+little to no kissing) it was fine. i think reese and byatt were ridiculously well written, and i wish i could’ve seen more of hetty from an outside perspective. 

OKAY SO SOMETHING ABOUT THE WAY THE TOX AFFECTS MEN KILLS ME ITS SO COOL I'M SO IN LOVE WITH IT

there were a couple confusing bits, mostly just character wise though. like nothing really comes to mind whenever i think about it, but it was there.

playlist:

5/5 stars!!!! 9/10 rating!!! declared AMAZING book!!

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT YE BE WARNED

okay so the parasite thing FREAKED ME OUTTTT AUGHHHHHHH /pos

MY HEART BREAKS FOR POOR POOR TEDDY AND BYATT. SHE JUST WANTED A LITTLE KITH KITH AND WASN’T THINKING ABOUT CONSEQUENCES AND THEN SHE WATCHES HIM OFF HIMSELF WHAT?????? ITS SO SAD AND SLRJANLNLFN AUGHHHHHHHHH

i’m so so so sad they couldn’t take the other girls with them when they left. and they’re abt to get bombed bro. i can’t deal its SO SAD and after ALL THAT TIME THEY SPENT TOGETHER but ik nobody could really fit on the boat.

SO WHEN I TALK ABOUT HOW THE TOX AFFECTS MEN IM TALKING ABOUT HARKER AND TEDDY. HARKER BASICALLY TURNING INTO A TREE MONSTER??? HIS INSIDES ROTTING AND THE TREE FEEDING OFF OF IT??? UMPHHHH AND THEN TEDDY AND THE ROOTS GROWING OUT OF HIS MOUTH LIHAHFWLHFKVKBJDNVLBAF
