This was a light, fun, and quick read.

I enjoyed it and the characters. A gay commune?! Friends to lovers, slow burn? Yes, sign me up! But there was just something about this that I didn't love. Rather than a queer contemporary romance, this one reads more like women's fiction to me (the vibes). Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it...I just felt like the romance was the subplot and it took soooo long. I don't mind slow burns but usually we get more tension/angst. If you like a good plot with a side of romance, this is the one for you!!

Also, for those wondering, this one isn't spicy.

Thank you to NetGalley for an eArc of Wild Things. This is my honest review.

Incredibly funny in that subdued, British way and El is lovely and such a sweetheart with her efforts to have a Wild Year calendar and do something that challenges her every month. The results are genuinely funny and El is a really easy person to like as a character.

The main storyline is about four friends deciding to create a commune by buying a house together in the country and the whole thing is absolutely ideal and hilarious and lovely, from the Vampire chickens (don't ask), to the hashtag farmlyfe thirst traps on Insta, to the lovely and welcoming locals.

If you're looking for a cozy queer read with a main character trying to break out of what she feels is a life rut, a bunch of friends deciding to leave city life and live together in a commune, some organically funny turns and a happy ending, this is the book for you.

Meh. DNF.

this! was! so! cute!

I need a small fortune so I can buy a house and start a commune in the countryside with my humans.

This is a very fun and slightly silly sapphic rom com. Lots of things to love and very British! :)

Sigh. This was fine. A little silly and the characters kind of annoyed me but it was mostly entertaining. I'm mostly just annoyed because why would you have a crush on your best friend for FIVE YEARS and not do anything about it??
