Wild Like Us by Krista RitchieMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I wanted to put off reading this book because I was afraid I wasn’t going to like it. I love Krista and Becca’s writing, but I seriously feared that this would be the first book of theirs that I wouldn’t like. I don’t know, maybe because some of the negative people rubbed off on me a little and left me feeling very anxious. Maybe it’s because I’ve never read a V triad relationship before and I wasn’t sure what to expect or what I was getting into.
But...if there is one thing that I’ve learned from reading all of Krista and Becca Ritchie’s books, it is to keep an open mind. Through their wonderful stories they’ve taught me not to be judgmental, to listen and learn about things I don’t quite understand, and above all, to love and embrace people for and regardless of what makes them different from me.
So, I kept an open mind while reading this book and I truly, truly enjoyed how the relationship between Sulli, Akara, and Banks developed. I love the way they wrote the story and I can’t imagine how it would’ve worked any differently than the way they wrote it. I’ve only recently learned about polyamorous relationships, and I can’t say that I know everything there is to know about it. I do still wonder a lot about it, but this book has given me a better understanding of how that kind of relationship would work.
Another thing I really liked about this book is that we got a break from all the issues with crazed fans. Since Sulli isn’t in the spotlight as much as Moffy and Jane have been all their life, she’s not followed and hounded by paparazzi as much. It was so nice that paparazzi and overzealous fans weren’t one of the big issues that the main characters had to deal with on a constant basis. Instead, the focus was mostly on the triad and we got to know more about each character.
I also really loved the ending! Fair warning: it does end on a cliffhanger...but it’s one that I welcome! I was hoping that scene at the end would happen soon and I’m glad we didn’t have to wait till the third book for it. I’m very much looking forward to book 9, Fearless Like Us, to find out what happens next!
Thank you, Krista and Becca, for writing a story I never knew I wanted and needed in my life!!!!!!!
