Publisher Description
A GIRL HAUNTED BY TRAGEDY.
A BOY SEEKING REDEMPTION.
A WILDERNESS AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT IS DEADLY.
Zander Rune was the darling of Hollywood until he fell from glory and was labelled a problematic bad boy. His public image needs fixing—fast—or he’ll lose the role of a lifetime, and all his dreams with it.
Charlie Hart is a regular teenage girl who despises everything Zander represents. But thanks to her scheming best friend and an ill-timed social media competition, Charlie finds herself pretending to be Zander’s biggest fan on a four-day reality TV adventure led by renowned survivalist Rykon Hawke.
When their trip goes horribly wrong, Charlie and Zander are left stranded in the wilderness. No Rykon, no film crew, no rescue. The only way they’ll survive is if they trust each other. But in order to do so, both will have to let go of the ghosts of their pasts, and just maybe find themselves—and one another—in the process.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Australian author Lynette Noni is best known for her YA fantasy novels, but she delivers an equally compelling foray into contemporary romance with Wandering Wild. True to its title, the book doubles as a rugged outdoor adventure. When movie star pariah Zander and teen-next-door Charlie suddenly find themselves stranded during the shooting of a reality TV series in the Blue Mountains National Park outside of Sydney, they have only each other to depend upon in their shared quest for survival. Alternating its POV between the two, the story creates just the right level of personal friction and attraction as the harsh wilderness threatens from all sides. Noni knows how to subtly illustrate the very different worlds that Zander and Charlie come from, only for them to collide in this most extreme of situations.
