I'm back with another book review and I am very excited for this one! As you may know, I love Louise Pentland, as a YouTuber, as a weekly vlogger, as a general human being. I think she's brilliant. I also love Louise for her writing. Last year I read Louise's debut novel, Wilde Like Me, and I fell in love with her writing, her wit and her characters. So, you can imagine how excited I was to read the sequel, Wilde About the Girl, a year later. Before you read my review for Wilde About the Girl, you can watch my video review for Louise's first book, Wilde Like Me. I would've loved to have filmed a video review for this book too but I just haven't had time to film and it's quicker for me to get a written review up for you guys. I also tried something new on Twitter while I was reading this book. I did a read-along Twitter thread, where every now and then I tweeted using the the hashtag #WildeAboutTheGirl, mentioned the page number and wrote a short comment that didn't give any of the plot away. I really enjoyed doing it and Louise actually retweeted it, and I've got a lot of positive feedback so I will possibly do this again soon with another book. You can see the Twitter thread here. Anyway, on to the review for Wilde About the Girl... I started reading on Saturday night, just before midnight (I'm not sure why I got into bed so late and decided to read but clearly I couldn't help myself) and I had finished the whole book by 11pm Sunday night. I read the whole book in less than twenty-four hours. That's the sign of a good book already, when you can't put it down. It had me hooked from the very beginning. It was so great to go back to characters that I'd fallen in love with during the first book. Going back to Robin and Lyla was a pleasure and the journey these characters go on during this book really develop them as characters, especially with Robin. Character development is always important in a sequel because you've already been introduced to them and you need progression for it to remain engaging and interesting, and this book definitely does this well. Robin is a juggler of work, parenthood, love, friendship and life in general and I love her for being so real. The events of this book are really gripping, through the high points and the lows. The calm is constantly being challenged and it keeps the reader on their toes with anticipation as to what comes next for Robin. It changes quite quickly at times and hooks you in so you can see how the main character comes out the side, no matter what she faces. It's packed full of emotion and heart. The writing has Louise's signature flare that I adore. You can see so much of Louise in this book, which just goes to show how much love and dedication she has poured into it. As a person, Louise often has me laughing until my stomach hurts and her writing matches that same humour. I laughed. I cried. I want to be friends with Robin Wilde. I also want to be friends with Louise because honestly, I think she is so real and positive and relatable. She feels like a friend already through the computer screen and even more so after reading these books because it's another part of her to love. Speaking of her books, I need a third one and I need it soon! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, through all of the ups and downs, all of the giggles and tears and cringey moments, and I definitely recommend reading this sequel. Louise writes humour so well. I've never had a book make me laugh like this before. If you haven't read Wilde Like Me, what are you waiting for! You can order Wilde About the Girl here (it's released on 9th August) Thank you to Bonnier Zaffre and Readers First for sending me a copy of this book to review. I am so grateful and I have enjoyed every moment of this reading experience. Now I just need to meet Louise to tell her how much I love Robin in person and talk about all things books. - - - - - - - - - - - - Have you read Wilde Like Me or Wilde About the Girl?
