Tiny Wild Things is a quiet wonder—tender, hopeful, and full of the kind of emotional resonance that sneaks up on you. Danielle M. Wong has written a story that celebrates connection, resilience, and the messy, beautiful ways we grow—sometimes because of loss, and sometimes in spite of it.

From the first chapter, I was charmed by the voice and grounded by the depth of feeling underneath it. This isn’t a book about grand gestures—it’s about small moments, quiet courage, and the slow blooming of a life rebuilt. Wong’s prose is gentle and evocative, filled with sensory detail and emotional honesty that made every scene feel intimate and alive.

What I loved most was how it honored both vulnerability and strength. The characters aren’t perfect—they’re grieving, searching, learning—but they’re deeply human, and that made their journeys feel all the more meaningful. There’s a softness to the story, but also a clear-eyed look at how hard it can be to heal—and how wild and wonderful it is when we begin to.

If you’re drawn to contemporary fiction with heart, lyrical writing, and a focus on relationships, nature, and quiet transformation, Tiny Wild Things is a beautiful, restorative read. It made me feel grounded—and a little more open to the unexpected magic in everyday life.

My first Danielle Wong book but definitely not my last! I totally enjoyed this book. Wow the characters were off the charts in every way. What a roller coaster ride without a clue who to trust. So many secrets and lies. This one got under my skin enough to make me itch.
Thank you NetGalley, Danielle Wong and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this cracker of a book.

When Fran Hendrix is given the chance to interview the esteemed, but reclusive artist Jonathan Kramer, she is excited beyond belief. To date, as a new staff writer, her missions have been mundane to say the least. Her articles for SYNC, a popular lifestyle magazine, have definitely been less than thrilling, with insights to skincare products the best she has been commissioned to do so far. The magazine has had to jump through hoops to get the interview, and some of the requests and stipulations made by the artist have bordered on the outlandishly bizarre . Nevertheless, Fran is up for the challenge and is looking forward to this being the step up she desperately needs on her journalistic career.

An interesting concept, with a definite spooky undertone. The plot was well constructed, but sadly the amount of repetition used as filler did spoil the flow. If edited this would be a sharp, succinct and very enjoyable story. Nice twist at the end 😉.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing.
