History of Wolves is a beautifully written story about a girl named Linda (her family calls her Madeline) who lives a life with little parental supervision. One day she meets the neighbors from across the lake and begins babysitting a little boy named Paul.
We know that Linda is obsessed with a classmate named Lily and that Lily had an inappropriate relationship with a teacher named Mr. Greirson.

This book was really engrossing but I felt like it fell flat in the end. I know that Linda is supposed to be an unreliable narrator but I felt like the story really never resolved itself. The pacing also was a little difficult to follow sometimes because it keeps jumping between the time that Linda was in high school and when she is an adult retelling the story.

I was really excited about this story and thought it would have been a 5 star read for me but sadly it only made the 3 star list.

What I loved
The characters- I felt like all of the characters were developed enough to either make you feel for them or to despise them.
Linda's relationship with Paul and Patra- even if it wasn't healthy I enjoyed their interactions.

What I disliked
The pacing
The lackluster ending

I think that there are a lot of people who will really love this book sadly I just wasn't one of them.
