Wild Things by Laura Kay
4.0
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!
