I can't believe how much I loved reading Wild Things. As a anxious bisexual, I immediately felt connected to El. The idea of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, because you know it's something that will honestly make your life better, is something I've struggled with as well. Reading about such a relatable character really made this such a great book to read.

I also loved all the side characters in the book, especially all the quirky neighbors from around the village. It made the book feel so full of love because each of these characters were unique. The idea of moving out to the country with 3 of your closest friends, and then become a part of this quaint community, honestly sounds like a dream.

The romance part of this book was very cute, and I'm always a fan of friends to lovers. I liked that the story showed how complicated those types of relationships can be, but I was so glad that El took the time to figure out what she needed before moving forward with Ray. It felt like the mature thing to do, while still being authentic to the character and the book.

I really loved this book and can't wait to read more books by Laura Kay in the future.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a review copy.
