'I kept it [the children's bedspread they sent by accident],' I say. 'I didn't think anyone else would see it.' 101
These words hang in the air for a moment. I close my eyes, momentarily flooded by my loneliness. Sometimes buried so deep that I almost don't feel it at all. Sometimes right on the surface, I guess. 101
I realise I might need to be careful with how much I reveal regarding my near-photographic memory of moments with Ray so as not to spook her. I could probably provide times, dates, what I'd eaten that day, the weather. 307
I stare out the window at the familiar view, which takes on a dream-like quality, a blur as we speed past. The stars and the trees in the wind and Ray's hand in mine.

Thank you to Netgalley and Vintage Anchor for allowing me to read an ARC of Wild Things.
Okay, this book was FUN. Definitely on the light and fluffy side and I say that with all the love in the world because I am someone who neeeeeds a regular dose of that bright, easy, sunshine joy and this easily hit the nail on the head.
The book centers around El and her 3 friends, who are tired of life in London and ready to shake up their lives in their late 20's decide to buy a house together and move to the countryside, a gay commune if you will (well gay plus their token straight friend, Will who is everything you'd ever want in your token, straight cis male friend). Halfway through her year of challenging herself to do "wild" things, El jumps right in at the chance to add this big life change to her monthly challenge, even if she has to do it while living with Ray, the girl she has been secretly (but maybe not so secretly) pining over for years, nothing could ever go wrong with that right?
This book has a heavy dose of found family and romantic tension, plus a few chickens running around. Would definitely recommend!

It’s cute, I enjoyed it! It’s very lighthearted and all the side characters are developed too. The only things are: 1. While the characters are developed it feels like El should care more about the struggles that they are clearly having and 2. I’m pretty sure Ray knew El liked her romantically, it feels like when Ray thought El wasn’t going to wait any longer then she decided to date her. And that leaves a bad taste in my mouth
I absolutely hate when WLW romance gets into what I can only say is manic pixie dream woman territory. The MC was entirely too besotted and there’s no depth to the romance from a reader POV

This book, like the pond they jumped into, had little depth.
