siria 's review for:
Wild Things
by Laura Kay
Eleanor is stuck in a rut—personal and professional—and makes a promise to herself to have a year of Wild Things, where each month she does one big thing that pushes her out of her comfort zone. So when the opportunity comes up to move into a queer commune—or at least, a run-down old farmhouse in the London commuter belt—she jumps at the chance. Except it means that now El will be living with Ray, the woman she's been unrequitedly crushing on for years.
Wild Things is a cute, light, queer romcom. El and Ray's getting together is a slow-burn and fairly low-key, and the book's emphasis is as much on El's growth as a person as it is on that. Laura Kay has a knack for finding the right balance so that this is cosy and happy-ending-y without being saccharine, with secondary characters who are easily distinguishable from one another without being irritating Bundles of Quirks and/or One-Liners. This was a perfect read for a blustery, snowy February evening.
