Wild Things by Laura Kay

4.0

Thank you to NetGalley and Vintage Anchor for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Wild Things was everything I dreamed of during the height of the pandemic. It is a cozy, low-stakes romance about a group of friends who leave the big city to go fix up and live in a dilapidated house in the countryside. It is an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life and just so thoroughly enjoyable to read.

In the book, El, feels like she is in a rut and makes a resolution to be 'wild' for the next year. This involves doing one wild thing every month (and then journalling about it in her favorite stationary). El has been in love with her best friend, Ray, since she met her but Ray is a serial dater and El couldn't stand to lose Ray. The two of them and their other two best friends, Jamie and Will, have the opportunity to buy a house outside of London. Unsurprisingly, living with Ray forces El to confront her feelings and actually deal with them.

I can't recommend this enough. It was just so so good.
