this was a night light read, and even though the plot was improbable and the characters had some growth to do, i found myself rooting for them because there was some obvious good there. queer longing and the struggle to find yourself in your early 20s was so real — kind of reminded me of “broad city” which is my favorite show. no real spice in this book either, sad!
BUTi honestly wish they didn’t get together in the end. i realize it’s a rom com, so of course they do, but i felt like el’s growth in the book would have been more complete if she DIDNT get the girl and realized running away to a group home was a bad idea.

Cute!! Moves quickly, British characters so it was fun to give them accents. I won’t spoil the ending but thank god for WLW stories that aren’t all emo. 💕

You’ve charmed me. I’ve been charmed.
If you’re into no plot, just vibes with a sitcom type cast of characters this is for you.

As someone who regularly discusses moving to a commune with my friends, reading this was absolutely dreamy.
I almost DNF'd this title several times. If you're looking for a queer friends-to-lovers romance, this isn't it. The "romance" doesn't really kick in until 75% into the book, and then you get one make out session and a pg 13 fade to black.
This was more of a chick lit, finding yourself sort of story that happened to feature a WLW love interest plot line.

I was absolutely thrilled to have been sent an advanced reader’s copy of Laura Kay’s new book, Wild Things. Wild Things follows the main character Eleanor and her adventure of doing one wild thing each month, a goal she set herself in fear of being seen as boring by her best friend/crush of many years.
This book is classed as LGBTQIA+ as well as General Fiction (Adult) and is set to be released in May 2023.
What I liked about it
Wild Things has been a refreshing change of pace compared to the kind of books I usually read. As someone who has anxiety and is bisexual, I found myself connecting with El instantly and recognising a lot of my own behaviours throughout the book. I feel as though I might just need a wild year myself. As the reader we witness El grow as she tackles unrequited feelings, being stuck in a job she hates, the minefield that is the dating scene and, more interestingly, buying a house in the countryside with her friends and converting it into a “gay commune” :). Honestly, this book was amazing and truly worth the read.
What I didn’t like about it
To be completely honest, I don’t even know why I include this section in my reviews. I never actually have anything relevant, let alone constructive to say.
