![]() ![]() Wild Beauty starts off with a bang, when Estrella and her four cousins discover that they have all fallen (a little) in love with Bay Briar, a queer non-binary girl whose extended family owns the land they live on, La Pradera. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s bucketfuls of it, passed on from generation to generation, of lovers vanished or sent away before the Nomeolvides curse can take hold of them. In a book where love can-and often does-bring tragedy, it goes without saying that there would be a lot of heartache in store. Review: So, it’s been a while since I ugly sobbed my way through the climax and resolution of a book, but here I am, wanting you to have the exact same experience. As Estrella tries to help Fel piece together his unknown past, La Pradera leads them to secrets as dangerous as they are magical in this stunning exploration of love, loss, and family. The boy is a mystery to Estrella, the Nomeolvides girl who finds him, and to her family, but he’s even more a mystery to himself he knows nothing more about who he is or where he came from than his first name. But then, after generations of vanishings, a strange boy appears in the gardens. They’ve also hidden a tragic legacy: if they fall in love too deeply, their lovers vanish. For nearly a century, the Nomeolvides women have tended the grounds of La Pradera, the lush estate gardens that enchant guests from around the world. ![]()
