Wild Things by Laura Kay
3.0
Really a 3.5.
This was a totally solid WLW British romance. A sweet read while I was at the beach, with friendly side characters, a charming village, and chickens! I think the reason it didn’t click for me in a stronger way was the fact that I just didn’t see what was so heart-stoppingly perfect about the love interest? Like, Ray just seemed… like a cool nice person. But El had been in love with her for YEARS. So all of El’s pining for her friend, while VALID, just didn’t make sense to me as the reader because I was like, yeah Ray is cool and regular and a lesbian who dresses well. I think if that had been strengthened I would’ve been hooked more?
