Ellie and Devin have been best friends since childhood
and plan to go to college together. This
changes when Devin decides to join the Marines (for a good reason-to help his
family). However, Devin doesn’t tell
Ellie his plans until just before he’s supposed to leave.
Ellie is understandably upset about this and doesn’t attend
Devin’s going away party in person but watches from a distance. Ellie and Devin don’t speak for three
years. Ellie deliberately avoids situations
where she might see Devin when he visits.
They finally reconnect and express their feelings. Ellie and Devin have always loved each other
and still do. This is made more apparent
when Ellie and Devin have to deal with some people who are into drugs.
Wild Child is
a sweet, entertaining book. I love the
interaction between Ellie and Devin. The
importance of sharing thoughts and feelings and listening to another person’s
side of the story is communicated well.
I love the mountain setting, and Ellie’s job as an outdoor guide is
interesting. I did wonder about her agreeing to take people she is getting bad vibes from on an outdoor guide, but at least Devin went with her. The outdoor guide is an opportunity for Ellie and Devin to spend time together and help
each other.
Wild Child is the sixth book in the Coffee Shop series another winner by Katie Cross.
