This was fun. I read The Split a few years ago and really liked it but then kind of forgot to keep up with the rest of Laura Kay's books until now. It's a great premise and my favourite parts were the friendship group and their village life. I would have liked to see a bit more character development on El's part because she was a little passive. Also I didn't really know if I was supposed to be rooting for El and Ray or not. However it was definitely a light-hearted, entertaining read and I'll make an effort to read Tell Me Everything soon.

I received an ARC of Wild Things through Netgalley. My thoughts are my own.
Wild Things is a romance featuring enemies to lovers as found family with a large splash of humor. There's also a fixer-upper house in the country and 4 chickens. This was a feel good novel from start to finish, even the sad moments felt good, knowing it would all work out.
I think a lot of books, a lot of romances, try for the vibes that this author manages so successfully. I found the story funny, and touching, and I'm a sucker for old houses, the country, close friends groups, and possibly chickens.
The leads, El and Ray have great chemistry as friends and (sapphic) lovers. I really wanted to spend time with them, and see them become a couple, because they felt so right together. The other 2 home owners, Will and Jamie, were great too, with Jamie being particularly funny. He loves his chickens!
When I reach for a romance novel, this is exactly what I want to pick up, and the type of book to make me feel optimistic when the world seems so exhausting and cynical.
(An easy 4 and 1/2 stars.)
