I enjoyed this book and this was my first book from this author. It kept me interested and I did not want to stop reading! I wanted to find out what Coco and her friends were up to.

Brooklyn Girls by Gemma Burgess is a series about five twenty-something friends—Pia, Angie, Julia, Coco and Madeleine—sharing a brownstone in hip, downtown Brooklyn, and discovering the ups and downs and ins and outs of their “semi-adult” lives. In the previous two books, the author gave the point of view to Pia and Angie. In this third installment it's Coco''s turn.

Just as is the case with the other girls, Coco lunged into break ups, break-downs, big breaks, and on the verging of quitting New York City altogether, especially after she finds out that her boyfriend is cheating on her. Mostly the story, which is mostly a lay out of her daily life without an actual plot, evolves about working in the bar she works at, baking, reading and at one period in the story, stealing education at a college she doesn't even study at.

Ofcourse that's interesting at some point to read, but after a few chapters it started to get a bit boring. This book didn't have the ''spark'' that the first book had ( I haven't read the second book) .
What I missed was a more interesting and eventful plot. The events that did happen came over as a bit immature and childish for someone of Coco's age. Overall the story of the Wild One didn't met my expectations,I think this book will be most entertaining for when you are in the end of your teens or the beginning of your twenties when you have the same point of view as the girls in the book.
