![]() In Hawaii, two backpacking girls hope to charter Nico’s boat for an adventure trip to Meroe Island, an uninhabited coral atoll. I already love reading novels set in Hawaii, and this really captures the Waikiki luxury, the invisible service work, and the extreme cost of living that I saw while teaching on Oahu. It’s already becoming clear that she’s doing another low-paid service job, but this time on the beautiful beach, while Nico’s on a rebellious gap year from his wealthy background. A few months in, though, he’s working on boat repairs while she’s working as a hotel cleaner. Lux has followed her handsome boyfriend Nico on a Hawaiian adventure, sailing his ship to Oahu as their first stop on a massive travel adventure. Reckless Girls isn’t a retelling, although it has nods to other works. ![]() I’d really enjoyed the Southern class commentary and modern-gothic suspense in The Wife Upstairs, a modern retelling of Jane Eyre. ![]() Reckless Girls is a new novel by Rachel Hawkins, the author of The Wife Upstairs. ![]()
