Running from a scandal at her New York private school, Magdalena heads to her family home to recover under the radar.
Over-medicated and under-confident, she's fearful she'll never escape her past.
Until she meets Bo out hiking. Wild, gorgeous and free, he makes her believe she might finally be able to move on.
But when a mutilated body is discovered in the woods, Magdalena realizes she can't trust anyone.
Not even herself. ~taken from Goodreads

Well that was a wild ride! The Netgalley description was even vaguer than the one posted on Goodreads (also used above) so I truly feel I went into this one blind. I suggest everyone does the same, because the author, Josephine Angelini, truly knows how to tell a fierce story!
The plot hooked me immediately because I wanted to know why Magdalena was running from her past. Once and élite socialite she was now alone in the world with no one but her grandparents. What happened? We get small flashbacks here and there that slowly let the reader see into Magdalena's past and reveal to us why she is trying to rebuild her life.
Magdalena has a run in with Bo and the story gets even more complex. Bo lives with his family deep in the woods, illegally on public forest land. Why does his family live like this? Are they running from their past also? What are they hiding and can they trust Magdalena to keep their secret?
This whole book kept me excited to read the next chapter. It kept me engaged and I wanted to read and read so I could put all the pieces of this puzzle together.
I don't want to over-hype this because it's not the most thrilling mystery I've read, but it was a fun and quick read for me and the story line was truly original.
Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for allowing me an eARC to read and give my honest review!
This was a 4 star read for me and I hope you all enjoy every page!
"What She Found In The Woods" by Josephine Angelini is due to be released here in the U.S. on Dec 1, 2020 so preorder now!
Happy Reading!
