Mexican Gothic
★★★☆☆ A well-worn Gothic premise in the novel setting of 1950s Mexican countryside. This book hits all the best Gothic cliches, i.e. a young woman is sent to a creepy remote mansion with prickly secretive inhabitants and uncovers a terrible mystery…
Wilder Girls
★★☆☆☆ I get the Lord of the Flies-but-girls pitch from a marketing perspective, but in reality it’s way more like The Maze Runner-but-girl’s. Also there are fully at least 2 adults stranded with the girls - who are teens not children. Lesbian romance was shite, no build up, no build out, not a fan.
