The Wildlands

To be blunt Wildlands is not enjoyable. It tells a story, sure, but it doesn't go anywhere.
It's very strange how the story is focused on a broken family in the South and yet does not pull you into a story of emotion. It's the opposite. There is such a lack of meaningful emotion in this book and everything is described in a bleak regard. To be honest the story never evolves into anything remotely interesting. It's just the same wavelength the whole way through, no real changes or shifts. Can't wrap my head around why some many people seem to like this literary journey.
And to add on to all that, the way the two main sisters talk about their brother is very weird. In the story they describe his features and mannerisms with so much lust, it's odd and off-putting. All which makes the reading experience more cringe worthy and messy. Just like the tornado.

I agree with about how Tucker was described. A little weird and off putting, not to mention I was left with little description of the sisters. I gave this book 2 stars, I did not enjoy it.

Still don't understand all the hype to be honest
