This book is just kind of ehh

I really loved the primary plot but felt like the writing was kind of all over the place and there were a lot of unresolved side plots? Super enjoyable read though!
Wild Things is a fantastic queer rom-com that's a perfect summer read. Eleanor is on her year of WILD to break out of her mundane ordinary life. She's spending the year doing things that push her out of her comfort zone. This leads to her buying in on a house in the country with her 3 best friends. But she's been keeping a secret from her best friend, Ray. El's been crushing on Ray for a long time and now she'll be living across the hall from El. What could possibly happen?!?
This is a wonderful slow-burn queer romance that was just lovely. I really enjoyed that El's story of personal growth outside of her comfort zone was a primary part of this story. While El does pine for Ray, it was a perfect amount - not over the top or cumbersome - it was just right for me. I loved the found family characters in this story. Will and Jamie were so endearing and charming. I would regret not mentioning the chickens which just added the cutest thread of humor and affection. I enjoyed this story so much, I revisited it in audio as soon as it was released and I was delighted with the narrator's performance. She did an amazing job bringing these characters to life and I think I almost loved the audiobook version the best. I read this book at the perfect time. I was just swept away and loved every minute!

I got through this fairly quickly, it was an easy listen with great LGBT+ representation.
It's about four friends, El, Ray, Will and Jamie that decide to buy a house in the country to escape London. The book is told from El's perspective as she tries to do one wild thing a month fora year. All while transitioning from the city to the country, stuck in a job she hates, and having a crush on her best friend Ray.
For me, it was a slow starter but about a third of the way through picked up and I listened to it at every availability to know more.
Something I really enjoyed was the found family theme, and also that the book took place across a year with a time jump epilogue. Although this was available as an ebook, I really enjoyed getting the audiobook and the narrator was great.
I will definitely look out for more from Laura Kay.

good, about gay people which i love. the main character wasn’t too annoying which is great. it was cute and lighthearted, wish there was more time with the two main characters actually together. but still. enjoyable read
This book made it into my favorites immediately. Laughing out loud through the whole thing, this MC is sharp and panicked and relatable. The friends steal the show. Such a great crew that kept me up reading half the night to finish this in one go. Absolutely a 5 star read!
